Yahrzeit

Yahrzeit

I light a candle
say your name
in the flame
I see your face
and pray
kaddish


I give tzedaka
go to see
your grave
and leave
a pebble


memories of the child
I held
oh so tenderly


precious baby
darling child I say
your name and pray
kaddish

I wrote this little poem in memory of my daughter, who died on Sh'vat 3, 5762 at age five.

The beautiful pictures were made by my friend Zayury.
Thank you Zayury, for doing what I couldn't do.
