Sad Angel
Let your death be symbolic of the tortured souls that trudge below your hanging corpse;
May we never forget the day on which we watched an angel suffer on the gallows;
Let your soul live on in grace;
May your pure sacrifice torture your executioners as it has tortured us;
Let our memory be a witness to the horrors of Nazi Germany;
May your soul learn to laugh, to play;
Let your soul be delighted now that you are gone from this cruel world;
May you be exalted and joyful in the heaven that surely awaits you, my golden angel;
Let all your mother’s tears be dried by your angel hands;
May your father always feel your embrace through the cruelty of time, and the cold of space;
Let all who loved you hear your sweet voice in their darkest times;
May you see those you loved once more;
Let not your angel heart be troubled;
May you know that you, our sad eyed angel, did the right thing;
Let you live on endlessly in our memory;
May you guard your fellow men so that what has happened to you won’t happen to them;
Let you stay always in our hearts;
May you always realize that it took a little child, you, to show us the severity of our world’s problems;
Let us learn the lesson that you tried to teach us;
May we live out all that you wish for us;
Let us never forget the horrors that you saw;
May we be able to know about standing for the right no matter what that is;
Let us not be fearful;
May we all be true;
Let the world discover what it’s lost;
May the faith we had before come back, sealed in your sacrifice;
Let this little sad eyed angel become a child for once;
May our children find the innocence that never graced this angel;
Let us learn innocence for ourselves;
May we drown all gallows away in sad memory of what has happened this day;
Let the world learn of the sad angel so that this never happens again;
May we tell the world of the sadness and the hunger;
Let us know truth for ourselves;
May we forgive our captors and tormentors for everything that this angel saw and heard;
Let us thank our liberators, and know that we are never truly alone;
May our children know about our gethsemane;
Let us never be cruel to little children like our sad angel;
May we have the courage to stop criticizing our brothers and sisters;
Let us protect one another throughout anything that could hurt them;
May we always be there for one another;
Let us REMEMBER;
May you always stay golden;
Let us learn to love as our sad eyed angel child did.
