She stands alone, she hurts
He is too young to understand
In the dark of night, she gives birth
The tears of her youth she sheds

She spends one day
Thoughts are many
Parents would go crazy
Friends where are they

In the early cool morning
She wraps the baby in warmth
One more suckle from her breasts
Hurries before the sun rises

She leaves the bundle of life
Cheeks so soft, a great smile
On doorsteps, with hope of care
She turns, not looking back
As she hears the baby's cries
She now has but a day's memories

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

beautiful...sad, but so very true...such
a hardship for a young mother to endure...
Such courage...but at the same time...such
fear...and so alone...both of them...
