The pain on her face


Seeing the star of David,
the words in Hebrew,
hanging around her neck,
asking about this weekend, 
the terror in the Promised Land.
 
The pain on her face
palpable, so telling,
the word horrific, 
bleeding from her lips,
knowing there is more to come. 
 
Sharing our faiths, our beliefs, 
all children of the same Father,
the one Creator, different sheep, 
sharing the same story, the law,
all thinking about this terror.

My customer said she has worn the little gold Star of David for 60 years.
