Saturday Night
It was almost midnight
and I had to go home
I got into my car as fast as I could
so I wouldn’t get wet from the rain
I started the engine
and turned on the wipes
I drove out of the driveway
as my friend waved good-bye
The roads got worse as I went on
I thought about turning back
but I had to go home
I was on the highway
dark as can be
I turned on my lights so I could see
A car passed
and their lights shown in my face
I lost control of the wheel
and swirled all over the place
I hit a bump
and went down the bank
with a big splash I went into the river
Something hit my head nearly knocking me out
I waited there till morning
for someone to send a warning
When they found me I had lost a lot of blood
They pulled me out of the mud
and rushed me to the hospital
The doctor said
We did all we could
is just wasn’t good
We are so sorry
but it was to late
we didn’t mean to keep the wait
your daughter is died
My mom burst out into tears as my dad held her tight
My friend just stood there in fright
They had the funeral that Tuesday night
There were a lot of people there
but one person was missing, me
I should me there to support my family
but since I’m the one in the casket
that just can’t be done
So I’m up here in heaven
watching over there them
telling you this story
so you can enjoy
what you have
I know it was my time to go
and if I could change what happened
I wouldn’t
and I shouldn’t
because it was meant to be
Reason for writing:
For a school project and I was in a creative mood.
