In time of war and unholy pogrom, the young boy's loving parents left him in the care of the old woman who lived on the outskirts of town and raised chickens and a few meager vegetables.

dVerse — Poetics — The Vatic Voice

Movies, Movies, Movies! #49 – September 8, 2020
Welcome to another installment of Movies, Movies, Movies! Just a note about a change.

First thought was Roger Waters', “Mother,” but that's a little too dark for this bright and beautiful day. Instead I'm going for a song about motherless children.
