Thirteen years ago mother and the lost child
A speaker recalls a mother’s love for a wayward daughter once praised as a free bird. The child grew like a rose but was trodden and shamed, cutting off the mother’s smiles and name. The speaker rejects slander and asks storytellers to tell only of singing in the sun.
