By Sandy Scheller
He went to bed the day before
He was normal, maybe feeling torn
But something was different as he woke
He killed, he murdered, his actions spoke.
My eyes they hurt from solid tears
I’m with my mom who has no fears
She reminds me to be strong and not be weak
And places a tender kiss on my cheek.
I’m feeling their pain the families loss
I can not sleep I turn and toss
So I sit and I cry and I wonder why
Why did so many Jews have to die.
Please dear G-d , how could this be
I believe in You and I’m on my knees
I pray this pain will go away
Bring back their souls just one more day.
Say this was just a horrible dream
Tell me, I don’t hear their eternal screams
But I know that it did and my life is in pain
These poor loved ones were killed in vain………
Amen and amen
