| Jenny was so happy about the house they
had found.
For once in her life 'twas 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 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.
But he kissed her and said that he was
just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and
Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking
that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight
ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to
drive.
They finally made it to the point at
last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I dont mean playing
football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe
I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff
away:
"Please take me home, I dont want to
stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored
the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going
too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild
anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow
down,
But he just got faster as they neared
the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess
that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big
flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going
to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden
went black.
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 were
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 oh so
sad.
Because the people in the other car
were her mom and dad.
This story is sad and unpleasant but
true,
So young people take heed, it could
have been you.
