Christmas Moral

It was Christmas Eve
Little Sarah Beth and their dog
were staring in through the door
At the Christmas Tree

Glancing across they watched their Mother
Sobbing and heart broken
Their sad Father trying to comfort her

Sarah Beth and the dog were in that same scene
Year after year and never failing
For the remainder of the year
They were stuck in the painful nagging conscience
Of the driver of the car
That had ran them all down?

DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE
Another child may well haunt your conscience
Daily for the remainder of your life?
You could NOT live with yourself

Have a Blessed peaceful safe Christmas

PLEASE do not Drink and Drive
Nor Drive under influence of Drugs

How would you feel if this actual parent were you?
