Picture, if you would, the single mother
who births and then nurtures her children
to creative beings and lives of giving
Picture the single doctor, saving lives,
easing those lives of others, often for decades
Picture the single scientist who invents the Internet,
Penicillin, the cell phone or nuclear energy
Picture the Albert Einstein, the Marc Chagall, the George Gershwin,
Arthur Rubinstein, Franz Kafka, Martin Buber, Golda Meir,
Jonas Salk, Groucho Marx, Bob Dylan,
on and on, and then on some more,
then multiply that all by six million possibilities
What valuable people we lost forever in the Holocaust.
What good lives this world lost in that genocide,
and more in that war, on all sides
Imagine all the world could have had, all the world could have been
But you can't imagine; we can only see one at a time - and
that is everything to us, all the time.
