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 27 January 2019 Contest: Any Theme Than Bauk Poetry Sponsor: Charles Messina 1st place Contest Brian's Select A Sponsor Brian Strand

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.
