A beautiful day brighten by a blue clouds
The smile of the sun lighten by its rays
Happily walking on the pavement of the road
Watching diffferent vehicles that over crowd the roads
My eyes are catching a little boy try to cross the road
and knocked by a vehicle and thrown down to the street
Rushing to him and holding him in my hands
He was crying for his mother with stricken fear
My heart was broken in to pieces with sad and sorrow
Waited for ambulance that took long way to come
Looking at the sky and asking God to save this innocent child
Then I saw his mouth tremble followed by blood oozing
He died in my arms without seeing his loving mother
I could not hold my emotion any more, my tears rolled down
The driver of the vehicle was in drunken state and watching
Will he allow his own son to die like this way on the road
Will he remember this day and think everyone as his sons
Is there any difference between criminals and him?

Cap, this poem hit hard with me ....

I have put myself in that situation way way way too many times. Luckily, someone was watching over me ... and God knows I've had several occasions where I don't know how I made it out alive ... or worse, harmed or killed someone else.

My last *close call* FINALLY opened my eyes to the DANGERS of my lifestyle! Now, I'm SCARED TO DEATH!

OH GOD .... as does me ..... sometimes though if we are made aware of the tragedy drinking and driving can cause it may just prevent us from doing so .... or at least think twice before getting behind the wheel.

That person driving could have been me! My HP certainly saved me .... and possibly someone else that night. That scared me so that it caused me to get my s**t together and get sober! It's been 30 days now!

My son's good friend got killed by a drunk driver at the beginning of the school year. I still don't think, my son thinks it can happen to him

Dear LORD, I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm just grateful that I came to my senses before I killed myself .... or worse .... someone else!

How very sad!
