I have found
The very ground,
The rocks and sand,
Where under my hand
Entrusted by my family,
I shall end the strife that proved her life
And lay her down at the base of the cross,
Where she’s kept a life’s count of the loss,
And placed each carefully
In her desert dry of memory.

And placed each carefully
In her desert dry of memory.
