Yo soy La Llorona - haiku version

miserable sadness
surrounded these walls ,can be 
felt by my children

my babies too pure
needed a much better life
God wanted them back

I'm the only one 
who could hear Him, it must be 
a sign from Heaven

I did what He asked
sent in innocent white gowns
we all dressed the part

I told them to look
for God inside the water
inside the river

with my gentle aid
I helped with their transition
my babies now saved

already miss them
I can't believe what I did
but this was God's wish

why did I listen?!
my lovely children now dead
I must search for them!

can I trade my kids?
if you want kids, I'll find them
I'll send you new ones

that's what I will do!
I'll go searching for children
to get my own back

I'll search forever
that's what a mother's love does
I just want them back!
