Before Chanukah
The winter season brings in
the festival of light
in its wake
The battle which took place over a millennium ago
Still echoes in Jewish hearts
all around our blue orb
Shining eyes will watch
candles glow
Potato latkes will be
devoured
as soon as they leave the frying pan
As driedels spin
the commemoration begins
The struggle of brothers long ago
Brings light into the blanket of snow
