Leaving the warmth
Of your own motherland
Your journey turned to a nightmare
Oh, how cold can cold be!

So deeply poignant. So deeply moving. It is like the scene of a grieving mother whose child has been taken away from her due to sad circumstances.

I am saddened to hear this story. Migrating to another country in cold weather causing death is heart wrenching.......10
