Carmel's Vigil


On a cold, gloomy spring day down on the farm
Waiting to visit her mother,
Carmel sat down for some tea and some calm.
But still she thought of another.
 
‘I can’t be with Sis on her birthday,’
She thought, ‘It’s been so long she was home.
I’ll send her some love on a wintry spring day,
To give her a flavour of home...’
