Tragedy Took Over

"I think it is a surprise baby shower,
But I am not sure.
I am so excited for our baby
I can not wait any more!"

You never made it there that night
To the shower that was for you
Tragedy took over
And all your future plans were through

A baby room for a little girl
That he painted the day before
Is now vacant and bare
No longer waiting to shelter her anymore

A queen sized bed
That used to sleep two
Is cold on one side
With a young man wishing he was with you

A wedding planned
For a beautiful day in June
Had plans of love and contentment
That ended too soon

A baby that was due
In a week or maybe less
Never had the chance to grow
And was peacefully put to rest

His eyes always seemed to light up
When you entered a room
But that light seemed to die
The day we buried you serenely in your tomb

I had never met a person
Like you in my life
An honorable, kind, honest, young woman
A soon to be wife

You touched so many hearts
In your short twenty-two years of living
So many students of yours, thanks to you
Learnt the meaning of giving

A beautiful young woman
Whose end came that night
How we will miss your smile
And your in brightening light

R.I.P Krista and Elle
Your memory will forever live on
