LIEN

This is a true tale of sadness and danger 
A eight year old girl was left in the hands of a stranger 
The location was the Hague and the year 1942
Lien was the girl who happened to be a Jew

The strangers cared for Lien so very well 
Being a Jew at this time must have been hell 
Lien is now eighty four and survived the war 
Imagine not seeing your parents anymore 

The horrific stories Lien still remembers to this day 
The poem written by her father before being taken away 
So much heartache and so many tears 
Made Lien's life so difficult throughout the years
