I hope you understand

by Chelsea - Aries

Mommy, Mommy don’t be sad
It was my fault, I was bad
I got good grades, yes I did 
Until I met some messed up kid
She told me that it wasn’t me
She said that smoking was the key
She took me to a way cool party
And introduced me to a guy named Marty
He was a stealer
And a dealer
He took out some speed
And gave it to me 
He told me to take a whiff
So I took a sniff
Mommy, Mommy I miss my life 
I could have made a real good wife
Mommy, Mommy my futures gone
My hopes, and dreams are washed away
Mommy wasn’t my birthday in May?
I would have been 16
If those drugs weren’t so mean
Mommy, Mommy it’s just not fair
Please give Johnny my old bear
Mommy, Mommy spread the word
Make your voice so that it’s heard 
Tell those mothers
And the others
What has happened
Mommy, Mommy I miss you so much 
If I where there I’d hug you a bunch
But I am not there 
And that’s what’s so unfair
Mommy, Mommy something’s wrong
Tell the family to be strong
Mommy, Mommy I must say bye
The funeral is over and now it is five 

Reason for writing:

    Well, this was the poem I had writen for our 5th grade D.A.R.E. I won the best in the school. But the real reson was because I feel really sad when I think of all the teenagers out there that take drugs or smoke. They get cancer and other life threatening diseases. And I know how it feels to lose a loved one because of that, my Great Grandfather died two years ago. We didn't have a father and daughter, or anything that close, he was more a friend that I had. When he died I cried and cried. When I wrote this poem I thought of him and thought ' If I was that said to lose him, a dear friend to me, then how would a mother feel to lose a daughter.
