Armenian Martyrs Poem

By Brenda J. Terzian

Today I lit a candle
For faithful ones who died
A time whole world does know
Armenian Genocide

Innocents young and old
For only reason killed
Because they were Christian
Evils caused their blood spill

They were raped, and murdered
Yet, still they kept faith true
‘Cause Lord Jesus they loved
Such cruel sorrows they knew

All those Armenian Martyrs
The Church calls Saints this day
They have been canonized
They’re with God for always
