The above lovely passage was written by KIYOMI OCHIAI, who sent the poem to NORMA DIRSZOWSKY and asked Norma to write an "English" version of her words. The rewritten poem was then returned to Kiyomi who designed and added the illustrations. The following is Norma's interpretation of Kiyomi's poem.

The bonds of love are much too strong for anything to sever, |
