the good aunt

my aunt

was a positive thinker.

always with a smile,

a pinch

for your cheek. always in

the latest

styles

of dress or hair. smelling

like

a bed

of flowers,

a walking bouquet.

a cheerful

word

for anyone who needed it.

a helpful hand.

a volunteer,

so wise and bright.

always time for her

devotions,

her nightly prayers.

there was only goodness

in her heart,

so it was a quite a

surprise when

she decided one night,

to end it all, to disappear,

to take her life.
