That horrible car crash!

They say my son died instantly

in that horrible car crash

But the coroner's report

on the death certificate

reads differently

There were several minutes

that passed by before he died

I wonder did he cry

Was he in excrutiating pain

Did he know he died not in vain

I swear the drunk driver that killed him

was horribly most terribly insane

and now he claims

he doesn't remember a damn thing

and he thinks he should be excused

from his crime

i'm sorry i cannot excuse it

he drank too much alcohol that fateful night

and he abused cocaine

now there are so many lives

that will never be the same

two lives were taken that dreadful night

the angel's cried

two very special people died

now there's a little boy left behind

who will never know his mom

who won't remember her holding him

in her loving arms

it hurts when i think about it

and i think about it all the time

What a terrible thing, to lose someone in this way, or anyway really. A close friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver, and while I can relate, in some ways, I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child. I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

wow. it seems this has become a constant thing nowdays doesn't it. we are on the spiral end of a wicked path and it all leads to hell. we just have to wake and make our escape before the harvest comes.

my own truth in a nutshell.

sad and tragic this happened and I offer deep hugs to you.

It is so hard to lose a loved one. You've conveyed very well the grief that you feel. It is beautifully written. Thank you for sharing.
