Say Goodbye To the Dying Light

She's seen the little mass Her baby in the shattered glass Oh her mind cannot cope But instead of the knife, a rope To take her own life And leave her husband without a wife Because she is no longer a mother And she cannot have another So she is writing a letter And feels as light as a feather She says "I just want to be free" So dead is the only way to be Soon the day will turn to night As she says goodbye to the dying light

What a very tragic piece! It is so painful to lose a child and many cannot work through the grief. Excellent piece - a 7! Best wishes. Pandita
