Young Harry now comes Chanukah
The festival of lights
This miracle of memories
Is found on these eight nights
A triumph over darkness
As few replaced the strong
The Menorah its true symbol
Does show you do belong
The prayer “Hallel” is offered
In gratitude and praise
The righteous few have conquered
This victory displays
It is a time to celebrate
With “Gelt” and “Latkes” too
A joyful revelation
As spirits all renew
It is a feast of purity
Of victory and love
When God did guide his people
With angels from above
“Nes Gadol Hayah Sham”
A miracle took place
Each candle lit acknowledges
The victories you trace
Here too you’ll find the “Dreidel”
Inscribed for all to see
“Nun, gimmel, hei and shin”
Have set the people free
So take the time and celebrate
This first and many more
With mom and dad and Annabel
There’s happiness in store
