Inside with basket a mother wept and

cried for her new born girl

Alongside a door she set the babe

outside as an oyster with pearl

Light appeared as the door opened

bright as it spilled on the basket

Despite her worry the new mom took her in

alright with this new bundle of blanket

Within, new mother Mae found the child

Lin, she decided to call her

Begin the story of two different women

in which the chapters blur together

Play, pursue, discover. Lin does and

stray as she might, she knows

Mae is home is where the heart is as

today is but a rose
