Lest We Forget

Through somber days
And lonely nights,
I see them yet,
Beloved family and friends,
My long gone, honored dead,
The Holocaust gave their lives brevity,
While I survived due to longevity,
And often do I ask the reason why
It was my luck not to die,
Perchance, to tell their story,
A sad tale - bloody and gory,
Lest the world ever forget,
What the Nazis did
To my honored dead...
