October 2008


One of the most soulful forwards I have received in recent times.

Could not but post it here for everyone to read.

—————————————————————-

I went to a party Mom,

I remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom,

So I drank soda instead.

 

I really felt proud inside, Mom,

The way you said I would.

I didn’t drink and drive, Mom,

Even though the others said I should.

 

I know I did the right thing, Mom,

I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom,

As everyone is driving out of sight.

 

As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I’d get home in one piece.

Because of the way you raised me,

So responsible and sweet.

 

I started to drive away, Mom,

But as I pulled out into the road,

The other car didn’t see me, Mom,

And hit me like a load.

 

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,

I hear the policeman say,

“The other guy is drunk,” Mom,

And now I’m the one who will pay.

 

I’m lying here dying, Mom….

I wish you’d get here soon.

How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a balloon.

 

There is blood all around me, Mom,

And most of it is mine.

I hear the medic say, Mom,

I’ll die in a short time.

 

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn’t drink.

It was the others, Mom.

The others didn’t think.

 

Why do people drink, Mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

I’m feeling sharp pains now.

Pains just like a knife.

 

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

And I don’t think it’s fair.

I’m lying here dying

And all he can do is stare.

 

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell Daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

Put “GOOD BOY ” on my grave.

 

Someone should have told him, Mom,

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, Mom,

I would still be alive.

 

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.

I’m becoming very scared.

Please don’t cry for me, Mom.

When I needed you, you were always there.

 

I have one last question, Mom.

Before I say good bye.

I didn’t drink and drive,

So why am I the one to die?

—————————————————————

Please… NEVER Drink and Drive.

When you have some extra time to while away and you are not exactly in the mood to write a post today, take up a tag people :D

Am doing this one passed on from one of my dear girls : ChildWoman

Okay, I am one who royally skips the ‘Rules’ part of any tag I read. So, chucking it here too.

The question paper was not as easy as expected :P

Anyways, here goes:

 

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

Hmmm..That would mean nothing less than the end of the relationship. While miserable days would follow, this butterfly will try hard, bounce back and flutter away soon after ;-)

 

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?

My current dream is to make a beautiful little baby girl and proudly bring her up. (God, you listening up there?)

 

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?

If possible, I would LOVE to kick the stupid big butts of all those corrupt politicians in India and appoint a socially responsible group of people instead. 

 

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?

(Err, why does every single tag in the world have this billion dollar question?? ) 

Buy a big bright home with a splendid little garden. Take Appa-Amma to exotic places around the globe. Everything else will go towards resolving world hunger and poverty.

 

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?

Possible..as long as the best friend is a male ;-)

 

6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?

Being loved, without doubt! I am big sucker at this .Always need to be loved.

 

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?

Is it too late to say I have never felt/ experienced love to that heights to say ‘forever’ here ? :(

However, I know a couple of guys who said that to me in their ‘Romeo Moments’ but are happily married now :D

 

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?

Ahmm.. If he is has not committed yet, I would tell him the secret anyway and cross my fingers in hope. :D

 

9. If you could root for one social cause, what would it be?

Told it many times, telling again – World Hunger and Poverty. 

 

10. What takes you down the fastest?

The ones who think too high of themselves and look down upon you.

 

11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

Can’t paint a picture, but surely in very happy times :)

 

12. What’s your fear?

Standing all teary in public..with none to hold.

 

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

A wonderful being full of love. Beautifully down to earth.  Amazing writer.

 

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Single and Rich. Poverty is a bane, easy said than experienced.

 

15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?

Call out to the hubby and hug him with a tight Kissie :-)

 

16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?

Hehe, that sounds like a joke. Two people at the same time? That’s probably attraction, not love.

 

17. Would you give all in a relationship?

Yes. As long as the other believes in it too.

 

18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?

Nope! Not a chance!

 

19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?

In a relationship. Definitely need a shoulder to lean on and lips to kiss on , when I feel like it :D

 

20. Tag 6 people.
