What have you seen?
Sprouting from fertile ground,
Darkening a place once green,
To this land I am now bound.

What have you seen?
Whispers creeping on water,
Where life and death are between,
Where have you seen my daughter?

What have you seen?
Shrivelled, browning, dying leaves,
Sunshine is a smokescreen,
My paper heart now grieves.

What have you seen?
She’s only sixteen.
