Wintermütter
Frühlingshoffen
Sommertod
Jeden Tag ein Kind verloren
Jede Nacht ein Schrei geboren
Mütter klagen
Hoffen
Väter schweigen wenn sie hoffen
Allein die Wahrheit stillt den Schmerz
Wo ist die Wahrheit?
Stillt den Schmerz?
Winterkinder
Frühlingsmütter

Jeden Tag ein Kind geboren
Jede Nacht ein Schrei verloren

Zeigen sich, der Welt den Schmerz
Wo bleibt die Welt?
Wer stillt den Schmerz?
