Reached the age of 3

Reached the age of 3 it says in some places.

Reached the age of 3, that is me

.Reached the age of 3, but that is not only me.

For I am so much more them just the age of 3.

I am a child whose only ambition it was to become 4.

If I wanted to to I could have asked for so much more.

All I expected from life was love given to me freely, in return it would give it unconditionally.

Not too much to ask of someone who reached age 3, one would think.

But there were those who thought I was not worthy of that love. And to prove that point. on July 18, 1942 they killed me together with my Mother and Brother in Auschwitz.
