One Life

By Mom (Janet)

We have just one chance at life and we must show respect

The things we see and do put us to a test.

Choices and decisions and peer pressure too. are all so difficult but we all must think them through

To believe it can't happen to me is oh so sad.

Because God has the power to give or take each breath we have.

We are all put here for reasons unkown, and God ca come anytime and take us home.

So youth, think first, when friends come and say. "Hey, try this." please just turn and walk away.

Life is no dress rehearsal, in life you have one chance.

Live it to the fullest, but please make it last. 

It does not mean taking something you know nothing about, cause any dose can be what takes you out

When I hear youth say, "She should have taken it responsibly and known her limits."

When you mes with Ecstasy your life can be ended.

We know not all that they put in it, but Heroin and Speend are conbinations you cannot mix.

So please think about your family and friends, with each pill you take you can caause so much pain and it can all come to an end. 

We were all put here for reasons unkown and there are things that still need to be done, but we can't make it happen when we start loosing anyone.

So please take note and use what you know, we want to have all of you around and not meet like this anymore.
