Noam Esther

I went to the wall

To pray for a girl

But I was too late

She'd already left this world

 

How could it be?

How could this be the plan?

G-d, I turn to you

An answer, I demand

 

I believe completely

With full faith I trust

That we live for a time

And then return to the dust

 

But a child, so dear

How can it be her time?

She barely had a chance

To live and to shine

 

I know that prayers

Did not go unheard

But in my limited mind

This still feels absurd

 

But now that she is gone

There is only one thing left to ask for

Let her reside near you

Healed, happy and smiling forevermore

 

L'ilui nishmas Noam Esther... keep singing...
