Video: CHILDREN, CHILDREN – Remembering the Sassoon Children, Upon Their Yahrtzeit, Today

CHILDREN, CHILDREN

The candles flickered, the table was decked in white,
The Shabbos queen was here with all her beauty and all her shine,
Seven dear neshamelech, were all tucked into bed,
Waiting and dreaming, for the next day to arrive.

In Heaven there was a different plan, the decree was already sealed,
For Karbonos they had been chosen, on the Mizbeach to ascend,
The fateful flames raced silently, destroying all in their path,
Their neshamos, soared heavenward, right next to Hashem.

Children, Children, your faces were so pure,
Like the angels in the heavens they did shine,
Children, Children, let me see you once again,
Let me hold you close and hug you just one more time.

Children, Children, your voices were so sweet,
So innocent, young, and full of life,
Children, Children, let me hear you once again,
Let me join your voices rising to the sky.

We are only humble humans, We cannot understand,
But there is a Masterplan in Heaven, designed by the One above,
We can only remain silent, hoping in our hearts,
For the day,of revelation, that all was done in love.

Children, Children, your faces were so pure,
Like the angels in the heavens they did shine,
Children, Children, let me see you once again,
Let me hold you close and hug you just one more time.

Children, Children, your voices were so sweet,
So innocent, young, and full of life,
Children, Children, let me hear you once again,
Let me join your voices rising to the sky.

CHILDREN, CHILDREN, WE WILL SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN,
WE WILL JOIN YOU SOON ON THE MOUNTAIN OF HASHEM,
CHILDREN, CHILDREN, WE WILL HEAR YOU ONCE AGAIN.
WE WILL JOIN YOU IN A SONG THAT WILL NEVER END!
