DON’T LOOK BACK

Every time she comes it’s like Christmas Eve.

Without Christmas Eve there will be no excitement of Christmas.

There will be no fun or joy waiting for the presents.

Christmas Eve is a thrill and

Christmas wouldn’t be the same without it.

How can a person loved so much be missed?

How can a person great with children be missed?

How can a smart person be missed?

                                    Simple.

Chrissy Martin died by a drunk driver

In Arizona one day going to work.

Suddenly, slam, a car ran into her

And made her life instantly end.

Chrissy was my babysitter.

She was more than just a babysitter

She was like an older sister

I will never have.

She brought joy and happiness to everyone around her.

Parts of her live inside of me.

We both share the ability to put a smile on children’s faces

And to see kids learn and think they’re smart.

Whenever I babysit it reminds me of her.

When she would come I had a smile on my face.

And when I babysit the kids have smiles on their faces.

Live life like there is no tomorrow

And cherish everything you do.

Don’t look back, never look back.

Although she is gone physically, she is not gone mentally.

She lives in my heart, mind, and soul.

I know I will see her one day when I take my trip up to Heaven.

There is no more Christmas Eve.
