She sponsored a young woman
In Colombia one year;
Then watched her age in pictures –
A world away,
A world away

She saw a smiling beauty
A diploma in her hand;
A picture worth a thousand thanks –
To see a dream
To reach a dream

She welcomed the young doctor
Out at the airport gate;
A daughter’s love, a mother’s pride –
‘Tween two who’d never met
Who wept when they finally met
