Saving that little Esther Hirsh, did Leanora.
Away from that heavy train,
Courage had taken place that day.
Railroad tracks under that big heavy train screeched.
I couldn’t believe what I had just seen.
Fascinated by Leanora. An
Incredible sacrifice.
Courage to hurdle in front of that train,
Even, if it meant risking her own life.
