[hometext] => This is a tragic poem about drinking and driving
[bodytext] => I had a few drinks, on that late night; “Can I call you a cab?” asked the bartender. “No,” I said, “I’m not drunk, not quite.” I stumbled out the door and hopped in my car, I swerved on the freeway, away from the bar. You entered the freeway toward home from a friend’s, Carefully driving in that lovely Benz. I didn’t see it coming. I should have seen it there, The path that was before me was no longer there. I weaved in and out of all of the lanes, I lost all my judgment, then the silence came. My life changed in an instant, and your life was gone, I knew it was over, It didn’t take long. I was rushed to the hospital and it became clear, I laid in the ambulance and started to tear. Where did my life go? I couldn’t tell, I decided that night that I would not dwell. So I stand here before you on this clear day, I’d like to trade places, I wish there was a way. I wish you could walk, I wish you could smile, I wish you could be here and give birth to your child. Your life was taken by my mistake, When I think of you, I start to ache. I have remorse for what I’ve done, I’ve been to A.A. meetings, I haven’t missed one. I don’t live for myself. I live in your place, I stand here now only by God’s grace. Why it was you, I don’t know, I’m sorry for that night, I’m sorry for tomorrow, But most of all, I’m sorry for the sorrow. I will think of you each and every day, I guess “I’m sorry” is all I wanted to say.
