Have Faith the Day Will Come

Rafael Klatchkin

1948

This day is our war, my sister,

So I am far away from here.

Please keep our rendez-vous

In our tiny kitchen

Before my usual chair

Fill a glass of wine

And treat it as if I am

Sitting across from you as always.

Have faith the day will come

I promise you it will be fine

I’ll return to embrace you

And relate it all to you.

Yesterday we went out…
