Author's Note: I did not write this poem, the author is anonymous, and there is one part of the poem that almost looks like it's taking God's name in vain, though I believe it is just the person talking to Him rather than taking His name in vain. Also a warning- this will make you cry. Enjoy!


Jenny was so happy about the house they had found
For once in her life it was 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 would have friends over soon
There would 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 am going to be
Because I just got a date with the star of the football team."
To be recognized in this school you have to have a clout,
and dating this guy would help her out
There is only one problem stopping her fate
her parents said she was too young to date
"Well I won't tell them the whole truth,
They won't know the difference what's there to lose?"

Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night
her parents sulked and 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 had to wait
For Jeff was now half drunk by this time
but he kisses her and said he is 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 write to the point
but only after he had smoked a joint
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride
not thinking he was too drunk to drive
They finally made to the point at last
and Jeff started to make a pass

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
and by a pass, I don't mean playing football
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young
Boy how could I be so dumb."
She used all her might to push Jeff away
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the car and floored the gas
in a matter of seconds they were going too fast
As Jeff drove off in a fit of anger
Jenny knew 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 go home, and I will confess that tonight was a great lie
I really went out for a moonlight ride

Then all of the 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 everything went really 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-
she knew there were two cars involved in a 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 in her head
as they told her Jeff was dead
They said "Jenny we've done all we can do
it looks as if we'll lose you too"

"But the people in the other car!" Jenny replied
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed "Please God, forgive me for what I have done
I just wanted a real night of fun."

"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim
and I wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad that I am sorry I lied
Oh nurse, wont you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there and never agreed
but took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
A moment later Jenny died

A man asked the nurse. "Why didn't you doyour best
to bid that girl's one last request?"
She looked at him with eyes so sad
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
