Philomena

A young girl growing up in small town Ireland,
Sheltered,
Innocent,
Met a young boy 
and was swept away by feelings
no-one had ever told her about.

She had a baby.

She reared her baby for years.
Then one day he was taken from her.
She never saw him again.
She yearned every day for him.
He yearned every day for her.
She searched for him.
He searched for her.
A group of people lied to them both.
He died...
she sought him still, 
not knowing.

One day, 
she found his grave.

Other babies were taken
from other young girls.
A group of people lied to them too.
Many of the girls died with lies.

Time to tell the truth now.
