Sad To Die Alone - Than-Bauk

Lived on her own
dear sweet Joan, was
not known to moan

One day felt weak
bones did creak, Joan
so meek and mild

Joan fell at home
broke her bone - died
as lone soul soared

Ann, your lovely Than Bauk reminds me of a dear friend who died at home. I never learned the cause, but suspect she was suffering from a broken heart. Congratulations on your first-place win in Charlie's contest. Hugs, Carolyn

Death and dying all have agreed; About it does seem so sad to read; Where I go, Tears will flow; God her to heaven be sure to lead.
