She wanted to share this poem translated from Finnish:
Now I am free and with the wind
I can travel the limit of timelessness.
I am the sparkle of a star, I am the flight of a cloud
I am the delicate drop of morning dew
I am not away, but come to you
With every rising morning
and with every darkening night
I wish you all good night
(Vuokko Laatio)
