Mommy.. Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl,
I did What I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's,
I even got the gold!
But Mommy, when I went to school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go,
ButMommy, please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny
Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy;
That I love him very much,
And please tell Zack; my boyfriend
That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my little sister;
That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother
I'll be waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends;
That they always were the best;
Mommy, I'm not the first,
I'm no better than the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers
I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this
And please don't let this pass.
Mommy, why'd it have to be me?
No one deserves this,
Mommy, warn the others,
Mommy I left without a kiss.
And Mommy tell the doctors;
I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor
Trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy please remember
I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mommy I ran as fast as I could
When I heard that crack
Mommy, listen to me if you would,
I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new,
I guess I'm not going with Daddy
On that trip to the new zoo.
I wanted to get married
I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress,
Mommy...I wanted to live.
But Mommy I must go now,
The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my Zack, I'm sorry
But I had to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have,
I know; you know it's true,
And Mommy all I say is,
"Mommy...I love you."
In Memory of The Columbine & Virginia Tech Students Who Were Lost
Please if you would,
Don't smash this on the ground.
If you pass this on,
Maybe people will cry,
Just keep this in your heart,
For the people who didn't get to say "Good-bye".
