"The sun will rise after the sunset,
The darkness will fall soon.
I am but I,
Having naught to promise but my will.
You are my child;
Birthed with my blood,
A perpetual seal to make this cost.
If there is nil l can give you,
For this life is hard enough,
My little one,
My beautiful girl,
I give you my life."
The woman paused her singing, to clean the drops of tears that had fallen on her daughter's cheeks, and then she continued
"With a blessing to hold
And a curse to bold,
Heed the words
That call from my soul.
I wish to be there, believe me.
But to bestow this treasure
I no longer hope;
But for now, I can ensure.
This life is hard enough
My little one
My beautiful girl
I give you my soul.
As I leave you be,
Do not think that I flee.
I only leave you this guarantee;
A decree in the heavens,
It will remain.
It is only with love,
I make this resolve.
Upon the vein of your wrist,
A reminder where your blood flows.
My little one
My beautiful girl
I give you my heart"
Her tears fell freely down, till there was nothing left of her, save a few strands of orange red hair, clutched in the babe's fist.
