Herbstkinder
Wintermütter
Frühlingshoffen
Sommertod

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

Winterkinder

Herbsttod

Frühlingskinder
Sommermütter
Herbsthoffen
Wintertod

Jeden Tag ein Kind geboren
Jede Nacht ein Schrei verloren
Väter klagen
Suchen
Hoffen
Mütter weinen kämpfen hoffen
Zeigen sich, der Welt den Schmerz
Wo bleibt die Welt?
Wer stillt den Schmerz?

Sommerkinder
