Until, after a long, long, time
I'd be well again,
Then I'd like to live
And go back home again.

In Memory of the children who perished in the Holocaust

Ronald Reagan quotation. "We who did not go their way owe them this: We must make sure that their deaths have posthumous meaning. We must make sure that from now until the end of days all humankind stares this evil in the face . . . and only then can we be sure that it will never rise again."
