I have uploaded the poem as recorded by my sister, and it is PL OK by me, but since I did all the editing and uploading and everything except the talking

maybe someone else might like to PL? Thanks!

Thank you! I just have a few PL notes:
- at the very beginning there is a click which I think would sound better edited out.
- at 0:27 you said "when will all come home" it should be "where will all come home" and I think this changes the meaning

- at the end there are only 2 or 3 seconds of silence - should be 5.
- And the whole thing looks a little bit loud. Maybe try amplifying by -2 or -3?

Lovely reading, though! Thank you!
