A Future Bride Poem by Dorsey Baker

As she is lying
deathly sick
upon your hospital bed
he kisses her lips
and she kisses his lips
it would be
the last time they would kiss!
Corona virus
would take them
away from one another
Corona virus
would sentence her to death!
leaving him
in a state of shock!

wondering why?
his high school sweetheart
and future bride
would have to be
taken away!
his eyes welled with salty tears
as the breath
slowly
creeped out of her youthful body
a beautiful woman
a future bride
gone
much too soon!
