Sense Sonnet - Acher

Surviving Child

When I first found the hiding child,
I knew the danger he was in.
Sought by nazi monsters who heiled
My nation into horrid sin.
I was living alone, and so
He stayed with me. Nobody knew.
I tried hard not to let it show
How scared I was to help a Jew.
For 3 years, the child was with me.
At last my nation lost the war.
The child was found by family.
We shared good byes and so much more.

I would not let this child be lost
Into that hellish holocaust.
