My One Regret

If I weren't afraid, I'd...
Have pulled that red lipstick
Out of my purse 
And with cover
Of sister and cousin
Surrounding your coffin
Replaced that drab pink coral
With your trademark red

We knew it wasn't a colour
You'd have been caught in dead

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 9/18/2019 3:13:00 PM This is so good Mo! I don't know why they don't ask the bereaved more before making up the faces of the dead. The mortuary that prepared my grandfather for viewing put a ridiculous smile on his face which pained all of us to look at. My grandfather never looked like that in his life. I believe I apologized to him for what they did. Congratulations on your deserving POTD honors! : ) xxoo Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 9/21/2019 9:02:00 AM Oh my!!!!
