Some are 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:21.886 lined and worn with traces of defeat along life's way. Some are gay with 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:27.396 all the gladness of the springtime on the land. Some are shadowed with a 00:12:27.429 --> 00:12:32.807 sadness, only mothers understand, 00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:40.626 but like stars above the willow.
