In the heart of an ancient church’s crypt,
Lies a discovery that leaves us gripped,
300-year-old mummies of mother and child,
Their story unfolding, tender and wild.
A glimpse into the past, a window in time,
Revealing secrets of an era sublime,
Where hardships faced by many, now revealed,
In the embrace of death, their fate sealed.
The mother, once young, now preserved in repose,
A child by her side, as if in a doze,
Their hands clasped together, forever entwined,
In death’s silent embrace, a bond refined.
The crypt whispers tales of a bygone age,
Of struggles endured, written on history’s page,
Countless children faced hardships severe,
Their stories untold, their voices unclear.
In the shadows of the crypt, a light now shines,
On the lives lived in ancient confines,
The mother’s sacrifice, the child’s plight,
Echoes of a past, haunting yet bright.
As we gaze upon their peaceful repose,
We ponder the hardships they once chose,
In a time long gone, in an age unfurled,
Their mummified forms, a testament to the world.
Through the veil of time, their essence lingers,
Their story now told by gentle fingers,
In the silence of the crypt, a tale is spun,
Of a mother and child, together as one.
May their legacy endure, may their memory last,
A reminder of the hardships of the past,
In the ancient church crypt, a moment frozen in time,
Shedding light on a history sublime.
