The Maniturgium

The Maniturgium 

The cloth kept sacred through the years
Is placed with her amid the tears
Whose womb where first the child lay
Has gone to final rest this day

No greater gift than mothers give
Of self they give, that young may live
Duty bound throughout the day
To lead the child on their way

And now the cloth that she received
Is placed with her by her bereaved
As evidence that one now gone
To heaven's glory has moved on.
