What Life Sometimes Bring

Drank herself to death in the loveliest way,
Terrific mood, always ready to play.
Some stuck noses up and said unkind things.
Not understanding what life sometimes bring.
She had cancer from her head to her feet.
Her choice of death pretty much can’t be beat.

Very sad poem. Sounds like she was a good person. Some people just don't know what others are going through inside. ~Angie

This is based on a true story. A woman I knew of had some very bad news; knew she would soon be leaving three children and had no one to leave them with. She went into a bar and began drinking heavily in a small town, and it went around like wild fire that she had lost her mind.
