SOPHIE SCHOLL
THE WHITE ROSE
I don’t know what I would say
if I knew I was to die in the morning.
Executed …. Beheaded
if I knew I was to die in the morning.
Executed …. Beheaded
along with her brother Hans -
he 24 - she at the age of 21 -
for standing up
against the Nazi’s in 1943.
Would I be brave?
Would I scream?
Would I wet my pants?
Would I say what Sophie Scholl said,
“Such a fine sunny day and
I have to go. But what does my death matter
if through it thousands of people
are stirred to action?”
Hope that still happens - where there is horror.

Where am I called to action?
Look her up on line: Sophie Scholl.
Look her up on line: Sophie Scholl.
Listen to what she still has to say
on this beautiful day.
