tears fill my eyes every time i read this poem

went to a party, And remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom So I had a sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would, That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should. I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right, The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight. I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom Something I expected least. Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mom, his voice seems far away. My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high, Because he chose to drink and drive, Now I would have to die. So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom Tell daddy to be brave, And when I go to heaven, Put Daddy's Girl on my grave. Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared. I wish that you could hold me Mom, As I lie here and die. I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mom" So I love you and good-bye.

a poem that i did not write

Friendship is a rare jewel that shines, Only when you give it a sunny smile Friendship is a lock that opens, Only when you unlock your true self to it Friendship is a song, which is sung, Only when you know its rhythm Friendship is a dream, which comes true, Only when you believe in it Friendship is a sun, which rises, Only when your heart has set on it Friendship is a throne, on which you can sit, Only when you share your kingdom with it Friendship is a path, which you will find, Only when you know you are lost Friendship is a hand that holds yours, Only when you extend yours Friendship is an album of reminiscences, which you can leaf through, Only when you cherish it Friendship is a lamp, which lights, Only when you know it will a**uage your heart Friendship is a lantern, which glows, Only when you need the warmth of it Friendship is a language, which you speak, Only when you know the meaning of it Friendship is a potpourri of feelings, which you can smell, Only when you have a true friend…

don't blink

I turned on the evening news Saw a old man being interviewed Turning a hundred and two today Asked him what's the secret to life He looked up from his old pipe Laughed and said "All I can say is." Don't blink Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half" Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said "Best start putting first things first." Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand You can't flip it over and start again Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth Don't Blink Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half" Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink So I've been tryin' ta slow it down I've been tryin' ta take it in In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in Don't blink Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife Don't blink You just might miss your babies growing like mine did Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half" Of fifty years is there in bed And you're praying God takes you instead Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster then you think So Don't blink Naw, don't blink Life Goes Faster Than You Think Don't Blink...

mary's song

She said, I was seven and you were nine I looked at you like the stars that shined In the sky, the pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my Take me back to the house in the backyard tree Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me You never did, you never did Take me back when our world was one block wide I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried Just two kids, you and I... Oh my my my my I was sixteen when suddenly I wasn't that little girl you used to see But your eyes still shined like pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us They never believed we'd really fall in love And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes And said oh my my my... Take me back to the creek beds we turned up Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me Take me back to the time we had our very first fight The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight You stayed outside til the morning light Oh my my my my A few years had gone and come around We were sitting at our favorite spot in town And you looked at me, got down on one knee Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle Our whole town came and our mamas cried You said I do and I did too Take me home where we met so many years before We'll rock our babies on that very front porch After all this time, you and I I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine I'll still look at you like the stars that shine In the sky, oh my my my...

move along

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking When you fall everyone sins Another day and you've had your fill of sinking With the life held in your Hands are shaking cold These hands are meant to hold Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong Move along, move along like I know you do And even when your hope is gone Move along, move along just to make it through Move along Move along So a day when you've lost yourself completely Could be a night when your life ends Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving All the pain held in your Hands are shaking cold Your hands are mine to hold Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong Move along, move along like I know you do And even when your hope is gone Move along, move along just to make it through Move along (Go on, go on, go on, go on) When everything is wrong we move along (Go on, go on, go on, go on) When everything is wrong, we move along Along, along, along When all you got to keep is strong Move along, move along like I know you do And even when your hope is gone Move along, move along just to make it through [x3] (Move along) (Go on, go on, go on, go on) Right back what is wrong We move along

tim mcgraw by taylor swift

You said the way my blue eyes shined, Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said: "That's a lie" Just a boy in a Chevy truck, That had a tendency of gettin' stuck, On backroads at night An' I was right there beside him all summer long An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone But when you think: Tim McGraw, I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long: The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness, I hope you think: "That little black dress" Think of my head on your chest, An' my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me September saw a month of tears, An' thankin' God that you weren't here, To see me like that But in a box beneath my bed, Is a letter that you never read, From three summers back It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet, An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe: When you think: Tim McGraw, I hope you think my favorite song The one we danced to all night long: The moon like a spotlight on the lake When you think happiness, I hope you think: "That little black dress" Think of my head on your chest, An' my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me And I'm back for the first time since then: I'm standin' on your street, An' there's a letter left on your doorstep, An' the first thing that you'll read: is: "When you think: Tim McGraw, "I hope you think my favorite song" Some day you'll turn your radio on, I hope it takes you back to that place When you think happiness, I hope you think: "That little black dress" Think of my head on your chest, An' my old faded blue jeans When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me Oh, think of me, Mmmm You said the way my blue eyes shined, Put those Georgia stars to shame that night I said: "That's a lie"

swing swing

Days swiftly come and go I'm dreaming of her She's seeing other guys Emotions they stir The sun is gone The nights are long And I am left while the tears fall Did you think that I would cry On the phone? Do you know what it feels like Being alone? I'll find someone new Swing, swing, swing From the tangles of My heart is crushed By a former love Can you help me find a way To carry on again? Dreams cast into the sky I'm moving on Sweet beginnings do arise She knows I was wrong The notes are old They bend, they fold And so do I to a new love Did you think that I would cry On the phone? Do you know what it feels like Being alone? I'll find someone new Swing, swing, swing From the tangles of My heart is crushed By a former love Can you help me find a way To carry on again? Bury me (You thought your problems were gone) Carry me Swing, swing, swing From the tangles of My heart is crushed By a former love Can you help me find a way To carry on again?

song

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see, that I want, and I'm needing everything that we should be I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about, and she's got everything that I have to live without. Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's so damn funny, That I can't even see anyone when he's with me He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night. He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star he's the song in the car I keep singin' don't know why I do Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe? And there he goes so perfectly, the kind of flawless I wish I could be She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love, look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star he's the song in the car I keep singin' don't know why I do So I drive home alone as I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart He's the song in the car I keep singin' don't know why I do He's the time taken up but there's never enough and he's all that I need to fall into... Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see...

concrete angels

she walks to school with a lunch she packed nobody knows what she's holding back wearing the same dress she wore yesterday she hides the bruises with the linen and lace the teacher wonders but she doesn't ask it's hard to see the pain behind the mask bearing the burden of a secret storm sometimes she wishes she was never bornthrough the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved concrete angel somebody cries in the middle of the night the neighbors hear but they turn out the light a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate when morning comes it'll be too late through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved concrete angel a statue stands in a shaded place an angel girl with an upturned face a name is written on a polished rock a broken heart that the world forgot through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can't rise above but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved concrete angel

song

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind Until the night 1st Chorus He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby (Sing lullaby) The rumors flew but nobody know how much she blamed herself For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath She finally drank her pain away a little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind Until the night 2nd Chorus She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby (Sing lullaby)
