What is recorded here

Childrens Bur. Gd. marks a children's burial ground in County Mayo, Ireland. The official record withholds its history, forcing imagination to fill the silence. Perhaps parents carried small bodies through rain and placed them beside earlier dreams. The land may still hold that tender weight, waiting for someone honest enough to listen.
