• Jenny was so happy about the house they had found. For once in her life 'twas 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'd have friends over soon. There'd
    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'm going to be, Because I just got a date with the star of the team!" To be known in this
    school you had to have clout, And dating this guy would sure help her out. There was only one problem
    stopping her fate. Her parents had said she was too young to date. "Well I just won't tell them the entire
    truth. They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?" Jenny asked to stay with her friends that
    night. Her parents frowned but 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 would have to
    wait. For Dan was half drunk by this time. But he kissed her and said that he was just fine. Then the room
    filled with smoked and Dan took a puff. Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff. Now Dan was
    ready to ride to the point But only after he'd smoked another joint. They jumped in the car for the
    moonlight ride, Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive. They finally made it to the point at last, And
    Dan started trying 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 ever, ever be
    so dumb." With all of her might, she pushed Dan away: "Please take me home, I don't want to stay." Dan
    cranked up the engine and floored the gas. In a matter of seconds they were going too fast. As Dan drove
    on in a fit of wild anger, Jenny knew that 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 get home! I'll confess that I lied. I
    really went out for a moonlight ride." Then all of a 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 that everything all of a sudden
    went 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. But she knew there were two cars involved in
    the wreck. Then wondered to herself if Dan was all right, And if the people in the other car was alive. She
    awoke in the hospital to faces so sad. "You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad." These voices
    echoed inside her head, As they gently told her that Dan was dead. They said "Jenny, we've done all we
    can do. But it looks as if we'll lose you too." "But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried. "We're sorry,
    Jenny, they also died." Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done I only wanted to have just one
    night of fun." "Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim, And wish I could return their families to
    them." "Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied, And that it's my fault so many have died. Oh, nurse, won't you
    please tell them that for me?" The nurse just stood there-she never agreed. But took Jenny's hand with
    tears in her eyes. And a few moments later Jenny died. A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your
    best To bid that girl her one last request?" She looked at the man with eyes so sad. "Because the people
    in the other car were her mom and dad."
