Title: Jenny-Last request.. Post by: TigerLily on June 14, 2003, 08:25:51 AM I was told this was a true story, but if not it still serves a reminder to us of how precious our life is...
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'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 a 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 Jeff was half drunk by this time. > 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 Jeff 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 Jeff 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." |
