. . .
Today is a gift, it's why it called present.
"Mommy"
and when he pulled the trigger back, it shot with a great crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told,
I went to school, I've got straight A's, I even got the gold!
But mommy, when I went to school that day I never said goodbye.
I'm sorry mommy, I had to go, but mommy please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun, he hit me and another,
and all because Johnny got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell daddy that I love him very much,
and please tell Chris, my boyfriend, that it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my little sister that she is the only one now,
and tell dear sweet grandmother I'll be waiting for her now.
And tell my wonderful friends that they always were the best.
Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers I won't show up for class,
and never forget this and please don't let this pass.
Mommy, why'd it had to be me? No one deserves this.
Mommy warn the others, mommy, I left without a kiss.
And mommy, tell the doctors I know they really did try.
I think I even saw a doctor, trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying with a bullet in my chest,
but mommy, please remember I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mommy, I ran as fast as I could when I heard that crack,
mommy listen to me if you would, I'm not coming back.
I wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new,
I guess I'm not going with daddy on that trip to the new zoo.
I wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid, I wanted to be an actress,
mommy I wanted to live, but mommy I must go now.
The time is getting late, mommy, tell my boyfriend I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date.
I love you mommy, I always have.
I know you know it's true and mommy all I wanted to say is
"Mommy, I love you"
When a girl..
- When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
- When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions,
she is wondering how long you will be around.
- When a girl answers "I'm fine" after a few seconds, she is not at all fine.
- When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying.
- When a girl lays on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
- When a girl wants to see you everyday, she wants to be pampered.
- When a girl says "I love you", she means it.
- When a girl says "I miss you", no one in this world can miss you more than that.
Life only comes around once, make sure you spend it with the right person.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who, kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you
and how lucky he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says "That's her!"

Tankeställare, "don't drink and drive"
I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.
Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road,
the other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say
the other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.... I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.
There are people all around me, Mom, and they are really crying.
I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Baby" on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye,
"I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?"
This is the end Mom, I wish I could look you in the eye to say these final words
"I LOVE YOU AND... GOODBYE"
