Reyzele's prayer

The moon is singing of joy and peace
But sleep won't take
Reyzele.
The little cat at the foot of the bed
Awakens and turns closer.

The little cat
With eyes half closed
Guards her every glance and step.
Reyzele, silent, deep in thought
Prays to God.

And what is praying
Her unquiet heart?
What is my Reyzele asking God?
In the ring of battle
Where her beloved fights
May God protect his every step.
