In the care of our children
We were miserably abandoned
Brought up to nurture
A father shackled in his passage
And a mother too distraught
To enter her own forgiveness
These reasons are playthings
Put away for the sake of
Survival and their specific weight
Clearing those even moments
Where we still might entertain
The transport of a vagrant orphan
