Poem for Margaret McDonough

 Let Me Die in Springtime


O Lord let me die

In springtime, my short life

Celebrated by crocus and daffodil

Weeping cherry and spring beauty,


Cherished by a few

Friends, family, lovers–


Let me go with the words

Thank You on my last breath–


Thank You

Thank You


Thank You.


[by Bob Coughlin. For Margaret McDonough, March 21, 2022, Springtime in Cincinnati.]


There's a kind of obituary of Margaret McDonough in my March 28th and March 30th, 2022 blog posts--a brief sketch of her life.
