Just a Grave


She was born, and died, on the 4th of March 1999. Had she lived, she would now be 15 years old. I know nothing of her history, whether she lived and died in hospital, whether she was Christened, who were her family, even if she had a family.

This is in Elbląg, in Poland, where even an unknown baby girl, fifteen years dead, has a decent grave, with a Crucifix, two Angels, and fresh flowers.

And prayers.
