Chanukah Ends
Eight burning candles
A few of the old tunes
Our hopes remain something
We can almost taste on
our tongues
There are of course, many, many other faiths
But the shining lights create memories
An leave something in our hearts
Which has lived on
For thousands of years
The enemy defeated
We shall savor
Victory snatched from defeat
Light shining on
In spite of the oncoming
of another, savage winter
