That Day

by Teresa - Taurus

The phone started ringing, so I picked it up.
I heard the message and started tearing up.
They say you are lying there hopeless and sad,
Why did this skating trip turn out to be bad??
You're at the hospital,
all bandaged up,ready for surgery and can't wait to ge tup.
Your 15 , wanting to just go play football or hang out,
Because this driver was drunk,
I'm starting to have my doubts.
Maybe if the driver wasn't so influenced, he could see what he has done.
The pain and suffering he has put our family through,
because he took that drink or two.
Now, your all sad and depressed, because at the scene you thought you were going to be put to rest.

Reason for writing:

    My cousin, Danny, is 15 and one day he went to go skating, and on his way home, he got pinned between a ford truck and a little tree. The driver kepy accelerating.That little tree saved his life.  The driver was drunk. My cousin only turned out to have a very bad break in his leg.When this all happend it was a very sad time. Danny was an athlete who was a star on his football team, and now his dreams are shattered!! Danny is very lucky to be alive,and we all are still thanking god that he is! thank you for your time!
