~*~

So young, so healthy,

so much promise for the future.

Three young stars,

stolen from the sky.

But they can not be stolen from

our hearts

and from our minds.

Three seconds

was all it took, to end

three special people's lives.

So easily, so unfair.

Never forget their lives,

instead of brooding over death.

They'd want it that way.

A flash of smile,

a swish of hair, the last that I saw

of you before you got inside,

and sped away.

What went through your mind

in those final three seconds.

Was it fear, was it peace

was it revelation.

Were you sorry for getting in the car.

A lasting memory,

of the fifth accident in the series

at Regina Mundi High,

the first fatal blow.

Something needs to be changed.

It is in the memory,

of the three new Angels,

that we fight

for our right to live.

May you rest in peace Krista and BJ.
