When we made LOVE
I sliced my finger with a knife, 
When we made LOVE
I cut off my fingernail,
I helped with YOU MUM
And I carried YOU out,
I crafted kisses and gave them to you
Then we arranged the tribute
The flowers read what we wanted to say
LOVE YOU MUM XX

A fresh, affecting description of a ritual that most of us will have to carry out in our lifetimes.  it brings to mind the anguish my siblings and I went through deciding on the right wording for our mother's grave.   Like you, we kept it simple.
