Young Mother

This image shows a collage-style artwork combining various elements. The background is a vintage document with text partially obscured by pink highlighting. Decorative elements include butterfly illustrations in different colors, a red flower shape, and a small retro TV image. There's also a sketch of a poppy flower in the top left corner. Two small photographic images are incorporated: one of stairs and another indistinct scene on the TV.

young mother
polite sympathy
your little ones who rush so happily
to answer the telephone
