The Lesson

I once knew a guy
that liked to drink
Before he got into his car
he never stopped to think.

After being at a party
his friends told him to stay
He wouldn't
all they could do was pray.

As he took off
his friends were scared
And hoped he knew
that they really cared.

Safely home
it was not true
His friends went looking for him
because they knew.

He wanted to teach his brother
things he couldn't have read
But now he can't
because he's dead.
