She was somber, subtle always glad,
demurely dressed, elegantly clad,
always polite, quick to greet,
very enthusiastic, always upbeat,
graciously poised, placidly calm,
seldom aggressive, always warm,
bluntness never escaped her lips,
her daughter always cradled on her hips,
shy at times, but harsh never,
always in the background, timid, yet clever,
her sorrows, her woes she never expressed,
never displayed that she was depressed,
t'was a shock to all, grief was rife,
when she hung herself and took her life.
