Wonderfully told. I agree with Manish, I also visualised the whole scene; like I was there.

Thank you to all who commented and 'liked' this poem. Reggie, I was a mourner. Latin people along with other cultures are more expressive in their emotions. They are no less respectful. I think it healthy to express one's feelings. We tend to be more repressed as opposed to reserved. Why hold back the tears when they want to be released?
Thank you all again,
Keith

Wow a very emotive piece Keith. You caught me up in the narrative form beginning to end. I was on the journey with that woman.
Brilliant

You paint a powerful picture Keith. Was it a first hand experience?

People from warmer climes always seem much more demonstrative in grief, unlike we British who are generally quiet and respectful.

I could visualise the whole scene of grief, Keith, and that's remarkable. Very descriptive and heart-wrenching. I liked the way it ended, "A red rose fell from her hand,
unnoticed by anyone present."
