Jenny was
so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life it was
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.
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 was 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 so
sad.
"Because the people in
the other car
were her mom and
dad."
