I very much admire your sheer economy in creating a mood as well as conveying the information required - simple sayings the children could grasp.
And how poignant is the repetition - still waiting in hope.

Thank you very much!
Yes, they would have to keep it simple, for the children!
And in the end, their hope paid off!
