Orphanage

I went to an Opera,
accompanied by friends.
First performed in one
of the concentration camps
where orphans fled...
the SS and the Nazis.

Brundibar is hope performed
fifty-five times.
The L.A. production renewed my mind,
with hope, love, and faith restored.
Hope for the best from each of us.
Faith for us to dare to dream again.

Children are the treasure of the world.
