Emma had just
returned to her childhood home,
It was 25 years ago
since she had left the town.
Looking through the
attic she found her old diary,
The year read 1942 a
year of her love story.
As she read through
the pages she began to sob,
The emotions and pain
of yesterday engulfed her heart.
She was dating Peter
then who was a Jew,
Because of which she
was humiliated too.
They put false
charges and asked her to leave,
Her school, her town
and her country.
Peter she knew was
shot dead as was the case of all the Jews then.
With eyes red from
weeping and her heart contrite with pain.
She closed her eyes
and prayed to the Lord,
"O Master!
Just this once I beg of you, to let me see them all once again."!
The verse in the
bible came to brain, that the good Lord would grant the desires of her heart.
She became peaceful once
again.
The door bell rang
A bunch of beautiful
ladies all her age threw themselves at her
"Emma, we came
to know you are visiting, we are your friends from school!," they
exclaimed
They laughed and
chatted all the way,
So many things to
catch up and say.
They reached the
premises of her old beloved school,
The old majestic
structure stood the same as it did 25 years ago.
It feels like I am
coming "Home" Emma thought to herself again and again.
The teachers and
principal who taught her then,
Were all present to
greet her once again.
They apologized for
what they had done to her,
Out of their
ignorance and spite please forgive us they cried.
They all hugged and
cried as one.
"Thank
you beloved Father", she whispered to the sky.
“For healing my
wound made 25 years ago and granting my wish
To see my beloved school mates once
again!"
