Lighting the Candles

Tonight we light the candles

When the holiday begins,

As the latkes fry in oil

And the dreidel quickly spins.

 

We’ll try to block out hatred,

Often aimed to harm or scare

As the world keeps moving onward,

In most cases, unaware.

 

It’s impossible to fathom

So much loathing and for what?

Yet we’ll watch the candles glowing

And be glad for what we’ve got.
