A widow softly cries
And says her last goodbyes
Her partner, her soul mate has passed on
She stands alone forlorn
The time has come to mourn
The severing of their cherished lifelong bond
She knows his life was lived
To learn to grow to give
Each moment seized to serve his G-d on high
He yearned for nothing grand
But to help his fellow man
The will of his creator was foremost on his mind
Yet somehow she finds comfort,
It allows her heart to beat
She knows that in the world to come
His calling is complete
The heavens will embrace him and elevate his soul
For in that special world above
The righteous become whole
And though the pain she carries
Is etched upon her face
Her faith will vanquish darkness
Indeed peace can take its place
With the thought of his Neshomo
Soaring high unchained and free
Not for a day, a month, a year
But for all eternity
A mother softly cries
The worry in her eyes
A prayer for compassion moves her lips
A parent’s darkest fears
Descending in the tears
That stain the worn out pages in her fingertips
The ailing child asleep
Cannot hear her weep
Of things taken for granted every day
To frolic with one’s friends
To learn & comprehend
Or stand upon firm legs to run around and play
Yet somehow she finds comfort,
It allows her heart to beat
She knows that in the world to come
Her child will be complete
The heavens will embrace him
And elevate his soul
For in that special world above
The broken become whole
And though the pain she carries
Is etched upon her face
Her faith will vanquish darkness
Indeed peace can take its place
With the thought of his Neshomo
Soaring high unchained and free
Not for a day, a month, a year
But for all eternity
Who will cry and who will care
For our brethren unaware
Neither of G-d’s law nor of His love
No knowledge of His word
Commandments never heard
To bring their spirits closer to the One Above
What is to be their fate?
When they pass through heaven’s gate
Will they find their way towards the light
We can surely stir a spark
If the call comes from our heart
Oorah – won’t you rise up - to shine so ever bright
So we must know no comfort
Nor allow our hearts to beat
Until we bring about the day
When our people are complete
So that the heavens will embrace them
And elevate their souls
We must reach out to do our part
Of making each Jew whole
And though they number many
We dare not slow our pace
Our work can vanquish darkness
Indeed joy can take its place
With the thought of their neshomos
Soaring high unchained and free
Not for a day, a month, a year
But for all eternity
