Woman in Hiding
She was only skin and bone; living quietly all alone; And all were welcome in her home,
Except of course the undertaker. A local well-known troublemaker. Determined she should meet her maker.
Despite a multitude of tries; she always found an alibi; Too wise to meet her own demise!
But in due time we all must cease; as life began, it must retreat.
Reading by the fire one night; the flue snapped closed an held there tight; although she pulled with all her might.
When she could stand the smoke no more; she opened windows, opened doors; the moment death was hoping for.
He seemed a sort of good luck charm; come to save her from all harm, and lifted her into his arms.
He wasnt fearful, wasnt grim; he drew her gently close to him; her life light flickered, growing dim.
That, they say, is how she died; Peacefully and long denied.
May we each keep fate outguessed; may our lives be thusly blessed;
And bring to us a gentle guide;
In whose arms we can decide; That home waits on the other side.
