Dear Group,
I was thinking today about the many stories in
our families.?One such story in my family tells how my grandmother had to
catch up with the last group of people who were leaving for Persia.? She
had five children, no food and almost a week's journey.? It was one of
those - I have to write a poem moments.? I'd like to share it with
you.
?
Imagine
?
Imagine
being woken from deep sleep by pounding on the door.
Imagine
your fear when you understand what it means.?
What
do you pack for a trip to hell?
?
Imagine
saying good-bye to your mother as you leave.
In
her pain she thrusts her kerchief in your hands.
¡°It
might be cold where you¡¯re going.?
You¡¯ll need it.¡±
?
From
a frozen wasteland, you recall her face.
You
struggle to stay alive.
You
struggle to feed your children.
?
Imagine
trading everything you own for a scrap of food,
Now
there is nothing left,
Just
an old black kerchief.
?
Did
she know it would yield two cabbages?
Did
she know it would keep her grandchildren alive
So
they could catch a boat to freedom?
?
Imagine
One
kerchief, two cabbages.
A
mother¡¯s love.
?
?
My grandmother was left with nothing of her
mother's not even a picture.? She never?saw her mother again - she
was killed by the Banderowcy.
But......my grandmother went on to?live a
long life in England.??My?aunts and uncles have a total of 10
kids between them, a bunch of grandchildren and even a few
great-granchildren.? Not a bad return?on an old black
kerchief!?
