I was teaching school
Just teaching school
A woman was dying
Dying
On my street
I was caught up
In a moment
A moment of life
Of learning and laughing
Unaware
Unaware at that moment
That it was the last
The last for
The woman who was dying
Dying
Alone on my street
A ditch
A ditch in a front yard
On my street
Five houses down
Is where she was
Dying
And I
I was commenting
Just commenting on
What a beautiful fall day
It was
While the woman was dying
Dying
On my street.

It always takes my breath away when I realize what I was doing when someone I knew was dying.

Yah, I know. And it sure makes you think about that moment, that exact last moment for that someone.

That’s rough. Hang in there!

Thanks, FFF. I am waiting to hear more, if it was foul play, natural causes, or what. Thanks for your comment.
