Romanian Grandmother

In the wake of the crowd boarding the plane

.. one was left behind..

she looked like my grandmother..

she spoke in accents East European..

I asked her from where did she come..

and she hesitated.. but finally

said "Tel Aviv".



She feared to speak it.



For you, little Romanian grandmother

with Pittsburgh children

our prayer is



Salem

Shanti Om

Shalom

Shalom

Shalom
