Heartbreaking. The first disaster I can clearly remember, probably because I was the same age as some of the children. I was 9 and it was Mumโs birthday. She would have been 100 today, so thinking of her too.

In the dark welsh valley,
On the mountain side,
Lay the little children
Close to where they died.
Their little lives are ended
Before they reach their goal,
Tender little children
Have paid the price of coal.
