THERE ARE STARS ABOVE

There are stars up above,
so far away we only see their light
long, long after the star itself is gone.
And so it is with people that we loved —
their memories keep shining ever brightly
though their time with us is done.
But the stars that light up the darkest night,
these are the lights that guide us.
As we live our days,
these are the ways to remember.

—Hannah Senesh

Hannah Senesh, born in Hungary, was killed by the Nazis at age 23.
She had moved to pre-state Israel but then returned to Hungary in 1944,
in a doomed (and fatal) effort to help the anti-Nazi resistance fighters.
