a single thread, weaves a tapestry.
G-d reckons the accounts of all souls,
balancing justice and judgment
with compassion and mercy.

in a world gone awry,
our lives may be rebuilt
upon the ashes of the past.
Our souls may be redeemed,
by He whose arms are wide open

even from the smoldering ruins of the Shoah.
And he will bear us upon the wings of angels,
for all the days of eternity.
