A baby cries

Into the air -

Nobody hears her,

She is not there.

 

A child's voice

Screams inside -

Afraid the Wolf,

In darkness hides.

 

A young girl screams

At a waiting world -

Butterflies broken wings,

Unfurled.

 

A woman hides

Her soul away -

Silence,

Her price to pay.

 

To hold a babe in gentle arms,

Speak words of comfort to a child,

To quieten a youngsters rage,

And settle every debt she'll pay.

 

To walk together,

Linking arms...

Supporting, comforting,

Loving, calm.
