Warm, safe and cosy

Born out of wedlock

But together beloved by a mother

So determined, so strong.

It was the wrong time for you all

Alone, and her heart failing fast

She left those three beloved babies in a bed

To be scattered to the four corners of the wind.

Reunited decades later

Their beautiful mother lives again

In the hearts of her babies united once more.

Rest now, sweet mother dear.
