My ancestors' past
buried within the cold graves of anti-semitism
huddled together
turned into abandonded bodies
abandoned souls
strewn upon their death
dug with their own hands
buried by their children
prayed for by their fathers
left for G-d
left as a memory
left as a reminder
"Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life
and I shall dwell
in the house of the Lord
forever"
-Michael Sesling
