*************************************************************
Goodnight my darling
and rest
your eyes.
Please know
that your daily gift
is where freedom lies.
Your great grandmother
is the reason
why we stand so proud
even though she succumbed
to the fate
of an evil shroud.
In the absence of any answers
from the stars
above
remember that your roots
will always spread
the seed of love.
After the ashes of Auschwitz
the dove
did soar
to regain
our heart and soul
forever more
and in the absence of any answers
from the stars
above
remember that your roots
will always spread
the seed of love.
