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!

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.

Very tragic, well written and beautiful image. No parent wants to outlive their child.

Needless to say this touched my heart. Little else is as sorrowful as outliving a child. My heart extends.
