When Death decides to launch his fateful dart,
Then Grief strikes deep into a mother’s heart –
A daughter sweet at fifty,
Adorable and lovely….
Such loss will rend the sternest soul apart!

Autumn Ambles 
Bushka, this was quite a lovely rhyme, tragic loss notwithstanding. I hope that it wasn’t anything too personal and close to the heart? If yes, my condolences. If not, let’s hope that the fateful dart keeps missing its target.
