Bones never knew
it was time to go,
it came so unexpected.

Sometimes the scythe
catches the braver shoots,
well before their time.

"Sometimes the scythe
catches the braver shoots,"

Remarkable phrase here. Haunting in its short but crisp meaning.

Concise and compassionate, dear Bobby.

For Bones probably it was a leap into a better existence, but we can't find a motivation for young lives to be ended like his.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks dear Margherita,

It’s sad, and it happens all the time. No motivation is ever required, or even expected. It's just the way things work.

Bones was taken home.

Love Bobby

Thanks Secondhanddreampoet,

Yes, Bones always was a delicate child, way too delicate for the rough trades.
