T.A. Skyles-Theoklapoet Poet Rhyme

For the Poetic Epitaph Contesthere I Lay On This Day.

Here I lay on this day.
A great soul has gone away.
They gave me a blanket so I wouldn't get cold.
They gave money from people that owed.
I'll miss all the dinners and the food we'd eat.
The great desserts and those wonderful treats.
I was a great lady and always a great friend.
I will be missed till they see me again.
                  Teresa Skyles
