It's worth is immeasurable.
Posted on Fri, 07 Aug 2015
It's worth is immeasurable. Both the poem and the release. This is exceptionally gutting - hope you dont mind me saying that - there is a privacy between mother and child that the reader is infringing on and it gives the poem more than its beauty...
