Once Upon a Time
They worked at the same place,
A place of no space,
Always running into each other they did,
Bottled crushes, with a tight lid,
Asked out,
Joy shout,
Lovely first date,
Neither were late,
10 months, moved in together,
Hope as light as a feather,
Met his mother,
Met her brother,
Family dinner,
Lottery winner,
They bought a bigger home,
With heaps of space to roam,
From the pound a dog,
Who's past was a traumatized fog,
Trained and loved,
Never shoved,
2 years now,
On knee and bow,
Engagement ring,
Very bling,
Happiness, wedding day drawing near,
Neither showing signs of fear,
White dress, down the aisle,
White suit, lots of style,
Newley weds,
New threads,
Of a new life,
Husband and wife,
They planned their honeymoon, away they go,
Enjoying their time, taking is slow,
Home again,
Pick up the pen,
Start the scrap book,
With ultrasounds that she took,
Tiny heart beats, yes there's 2,
Even though the months are still few,
He gets a new job, lots of money,
Life was looking very sunny,
Half cake blue, half cake pink,
2 names, they have to think,
Room painted and made,
With each other, there glad they stayed,
2 months not long now,
Cute bib that says pow,
Baby clothes shopping, right away,
They will be back soon dog, stay,
Home sweet home, 3 weeks to go,
Need 2 crips, that's all though,
Home alone, twins come a week before,
Open, shut car door,
Drive herself to get there,
Tiny feet kicks, don't you dare,
Turn the corner, car crash,
Window screen is the first to smash,
Jolt forward, hit head,
Blood seeping, staining red,
3 heartbeats stop, husband is told,
Suicide committed, another life folds,
Dog waits at home, all alone,
As gravestones are added, gray zone.
