Behind The Wheel Poem by Jamie Drake

I went to a party.
My parents said not to drink.
I drank never heeding to my mom’s warning.
Got behind the wheel, got out of the drive way.
Thought I stopped for the stop light, now all I see is this bright white light.
Open my eyes see the police and they say “DUI” Black out.
Wake up in a hospital only a couple minuets left,
Called a Nurse and asked “Can you tell the person’s family I am sorry and my parents I will miss them.”
Closed eyes nurse takes my hand with tear filled eyes till I pass.
The nurse started to cry and the Doctor asked 'Are you not going to call the mother? ' the Nurse said 'No.' 'Why not? ' in a chocked voice she answered 'Because it was her mother in the other car and she died on impact.'
