DIFFERENT JOURNEY....
God was looking in the Book of Life
to see why I was there…
for a drunk driver hit me
and I was thrown somewhere
I saw my body all messed up
and people running around
I heard the ambulance siren
and 911 calls to town
The paramedics were working hard
but then it was too late
How could this be happening?
I just finished work at eight
As they started to cover my body
I found myself at my front door
I heard the police officer say,
“I’m sorry...life is gone forevermore.”
What shocking news to hear
for my life was taken too soon
The drunk driver who killed me
was locked up by noon
The angels carried me to the light
and guided me to God’s kingdom
There I stood in front of the King
listening to all His wisdom
He told me that I was special
and my mission on earth was done
My name was in the Book of Life
and what victory I had won
He said my family would miss me so
but I would not die in vain
They’re on a different journey now…
to ease such heartache and pain
The drunk driver who hit me tonight
has some tough lessons ahead
For life is such a precious gift
I’m sure he didn’t wish I were dead.
Now, the journey in life is different
for all those left behind.
Will drunk drivers ever learn…
with only tragedies to remind?

Driving is a privilege, but it can be taken away.
Think before you drink and drive...
for this could be your nightmare today.
