she took her own life by way of a rope
on a shearing shed rafter she hung
with life's stresses she couldn't cope

there was no oxygen present in her lungs
this is what her daughter Emma found
on a shearing shed rafter she hung

much shock and sadness was around
her depressive condition she did hide
this is what her daughter Emma found

Jean decided to take a suicide ride
ever so devastated were her kith and kin
her depressive condition she did hide

the air of life is a vapor so very thin
one should be thinking of existing
ever so devastated were her kith and kin

on a death ticket Jean did her traveling
one should be thinking of existing
she took her own life by way of a rope
with life's stresses she couldn't cope
This piece is based on a true story...the lady the poem is written about was a friend and work colleague.
