She lit the lone candle
Recited the Bracha
The deepest of joys in her heart
When a gust of wind blew
Through a crack in the window
The flame once so bright had gone dark
When this time the pain was so great
She tried to hold back but it was too late
Where has my faith gone, she said with a sigh
As small teardrop formed on the edge of her eye
It rolled down her cheek heading straight for the candle
As if with a mind of its own
Touching the wick, the drop burst out in flames
Once more there was light in her home
No more could she hold back the tears
She cried out the sorrow of so many years
G-ds love is but hidden in time we'll know why
But the heaven had told her
Its alright to cry
