> 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 problem stopping 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 don't 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 don't 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 got 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 force of 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 died.
> A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best To bid that girl her
> one last request?"
>
> She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
> "Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
> This story is sad and unpleasant but True, So young people take heed, it
> could have been you.
> Drinking and driving is Not cool.
