Moonlight Ride

(Author Unknown)

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.                      As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problemstopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.             "Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I dont mean playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I dont want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.                                   She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just go faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home!I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"

She doesn't remember the forceof impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance!These kids are in trouble!" Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck. Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,                       And if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."                                          "But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny had died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best          To bid that girl her one lastrequest?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."

Always Say I Love You

    Brittney loved basketball
    Friends and parties too
    And when it came to painting
    That's all she wanted to do

    She painted everything she saw
    Birds, flowers, the sky
    Somedays she sat at her window
    And painted everything that passed her by

    But lately she'd been feeling woozy
    Her muscles ached a lot
    And her parents got kind of worried
    So they took her to the doc

    The doctor took a couple of tests
    To see if everything was ok
    Then the nurse came out with a look of sadness
    And this is what she had to say;

    "I'm sorry but you've got leukemia,"
    "You've got about 3 months more."
    Then Brittney got up and ran out of the room
    And slammed the office door

    She ran down the street screaming
    And cried her eyes out dry
    And stayed up all night
    Wondering what it's like to die

    Her parents held her tightly
    And said, "We love you,"
    "We'll make your last few months the greatest,"
    "We'll do anything for you."

    So Brittney and her parents moved to Florida
    To live by the sea
    Because Brittney loved the ocean
    And when she dies, that's where she wanted to be

    She spent her days painting
    And horseback riding in by the bay
    But one day she met this guy
    And his name was Jay

    They collected seashells together
    And talked about all kinds of things
    And then one day while walking
    He handed her a ring

    It said that, "I love you,"
    Which brought tears to Brittney's eyes
    And when he put it on her finger
    She began to cry

    "I've got leukemia, and about a month more."
    Then Jay said, " No matter what, I love you,"
    "And no matter what, you are the one I adore."

    So they spent everyday together
    And swam in the Atlantic all day
    But Brittney was getting weaker
    And it was hard for her stay awake

    So one day Brittney painted her picture
    And gave it to Jay
    She said, "I want you to remember me,"
    "Even when I leave this place."

    But one day while they were walking
    And searching for seashells in the sand
    Brittney collapsed and started to lose her breath
    And said to Jay, "Please hold my hand."

    "I love you more then anyone,"
    "You are my only true love,"
    "But now my time is up,"
    "And I'll watch over you from above,"

    Then Brittney's body was lifeless
    As she lay in Jay's arms
    And he sat there all day
    And kept her safe from harm

    I hope this teaches you a lesson
    To tell someone you love them whenever you can
    Because maybe they'll be gone tomorrow
    And you wont be there to hold their hand

    Because love is everything to everybody
    Without it, the world would be dead
    So always tell someone you love them
    A parent, a lover, a friend
