"We Remember Shoshana"
ad. from Rabbi Jack Reimer
WE REMEMBER Shoshona
At the rising of the sun and its going down
We will remember her.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We will remember her.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We will remember her.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer
We will remember her.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We will remember her.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends
We will remember her.
As long as we live, Shoshana too will live, for she is now a part of us
As we remember her.
When we are lost and sick at heart
We will remember her.
When we have made decisions that are difficult to make,
We will remember her.
When we have achievements that are based on hers
We will remember her.
When we have joy we crave to share
We will remember her.
As long as we live, she too will live for Shoshana is now part of us.
As we remember her.
