This coming Monday will be the seven year marker of my friend's death. I added a line for what would have been the year she turned 21.

By: Sarah Tagert

You would have been sixteen today,
Getting your license, learning to drive

You would have been seventeen today,
Picking out your prom dress,
Dreaming about your date

You would have been eighteen today,
Buying your class ring, planning for
Your graduation and college

You would have been nineteen today,
Just reaching the prime of your life


You would have been twenty today,
But your life ended August 18th, 1996, a tragic day

You would have been twenty-one today
An adult, truly on your way

In Memory Of Kristen N. Aultman
1982-1996
