I carry a cross written into the star of David
it is my fate which hangs now from my neck
and it used to hang by a hair. ever since I know,
I see every important thing

doubly: two mothers, two fathers,
two surnames, because only recently I have started
to carry a cross written into the star of David.
I understand now that I HAD TO become

His servant, in order to pay my debt
of life, which was miraculously saved and now
it begins to make greater sense. because I try
to love everyone doubly, knowing

how much it is really worth. Since I was born
I have been carrying a cross written into the star of David.
so I do not understand those, who
hate instead of loving.
