Ode to Helen Katz
March 7, 2017
Eight lights on the menorah
Lasting shining bright
These were dark times you lived in
Worrying if you would make it through the night
Eight lights on the menorah
One for each child
The only remedy I know is hope
That none of the candles extinguish into smoke
Now there's nightmares in your head, Helen
I feel deep sorrow
But Helen, I'm rooting for you
To make it- at least until tomorrow.
