Mommy.. Johnny brought a gun to school,
\nHe told his friends that it was cool,
\nAnd when he pulled the trigger back,
\nIt shot with a great crack.<\/p>\n
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did What I was told,
\nI went to school, I got straight A’s, I even got the gold!
\nBut Mommy, when I went school that day,
\nI never said good-bye.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry Mommy, I had to go,
\nBut Mommy, please don’t cry.
\nWhen Johnny shot the gun, He hit me and another,
\nAnd all because Johnny, Got the gun from his older brother.<\/p>\n
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very much,
\nAnd please tell Chris; my boyfriend; That it wasn’t just a crush.
\nAnd tell my little sister; That she is the only one now,
\nAnd tell my dear sweet grandmother; I’ll be waiting for her now,
\nAnd tell my wonderful friends; That they always were the best;
\nMommy, I’m not the first, I’m no better than the rest.
\nMommy, tell my teachers; I won’t show up for class,
\nAnd never to forget this, And please don’t let this pass.
\nMommy, why’d it have to be me? No one deserves this,
\nMommy, warn the others, Mommy I left without a kiss.
\nAnd Mommy tell the doctors; I know they really did try,
\nI think I even saw a doctor, Trying not to cry.
\nMommy, I’m slowly dying, With a bullet in my chest,
\nBut Mommy please remember, I’m in heaven with the rest.
\nMommy I ran as fast as I could,
\nWhen I heard that crack, Mommy, listen to me if you would,
\nI wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new,
\nI guess I’m not going with Daddy, On that trip to the new zoo.
\nI wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid,
\nI wanted to be an actress, Mommy, I wanted to live.
\nBut Mommy I must go now, The time is getting late,
\nMommy, tell my Chris, I’m sorry but I had to cancel the date.
\nI love you Mommy, I always have, I know; you know it’s true,
\nAnd Mommy all I wanted to say is, “Mommy, I love you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
