Drunken Driver

How many lives have been taken away By those who have driven drunk?
No less than KILLERS driving our streets, Ending innocent lives by the bunch.

The ones who KILL yet live themselves, Are knocking families to their knees,
Left to grieve in pain for a lifetime, Their loved ones no more to see.

The law does not protect against These KILLERS at the wheel,
For when it's time to face the courts, They're given another appeal!

Let's try to just imagine The loss of our loved one's life
To such a selfish horrendous act, Who has paid a KILLER'S price.

When driving drunk and blinded, No responsibility do they show,
These demons who drive so aimlessly, Snuffing out lives wherever they go.

So please let's bow our heads in prayer To the memory of all who've been claimed
And for the families that are left crying For this needless act of shame!

Sitting sadly on my bed
Listening to the wild winds blow,
Crying bitterly behind my hair
Trying not to let it show.

Knowing that you won't be back
You left without good-bye's,
Never to mend my broken heart
Letting loose my cries.

Everyday I waited
And everyday I prayed,
Hoping God would leave you here
At least just one more day.

Memories I have a half of a life time full. From the day We met at JJ"s pool hall 1993. The first movie we watched together was LOve Story you were such a romantic! WE used to hang on back roads with Chicken and Annie, parties by the wells , To Texas, in the end of 1994 1995 1996. You were salesman of the month for six months straight. you would tell me how you pretend to be someone ealse to make the sale.  Our friends Jordan, Kelly,mat Blane and Edmond,  and Oasis hit song wonder Wall! WE loved going to different types of resturants.  There was this one place that was like the old west swinging doors and a ladie swinging over the Piano player.  Street art, The Bombay BiCical club, ohms, Six street, the White Rabit ,The Strip Gadalupie avenue! at Texas university! The coffie houses, the amazing live music, the beautiful lakes and swimming spots, The parks and  the guy that looked like Elivs. We used to go to the discount music cinema every other night after our stop at the Subway for our dinner which I would put in my purse LOL! and too back home, Festivals, you would wake me up at the weirdest hours to make me taste some concotion you made. I miss your cooking! Car accident that nearly ended our lives!1997 The birth of our son 1998! 22 hours of labor and a trip to Pittsburgh you nearly passed out right after they wisked him away. you were a good coach tough! Our son was 3lb. 9 oz. That was terrifieng, into the incubator for a month it drove us crazy.  KEVIN NAMED SALEM AFTER THREE DAYS!  Then many sleepless nights! Salem was caulic and very tiny.

You then got hurt at work. we drove to Northern cambria every weekend! We did travel a lot. We moved to Poets Viillage a town house! You staied home with Salem and I went to work.  We moved into a big house in Garmin town. Birthday parties for Salem and holloween parties for us.
