POEM: 4/2/07 (for the New Haggadah)
we pray to pray
to be able to
not a matter of if
but a matter of when
in hard times in tough times
sing the blues to the ones you love
begin with the love at hand
begin by listening begin by saying
we pray to pray
to be able to
may we have the protective blood upon our doors
may the avenging angel
may the plagues
pass us by
these the days we treasure
simple days without disturbance
family & loved ones
alert engaged on their way
in hard times re-think the basics
breathing sitting exercising eating sleeping dreaming touching
we pray to pray
to be able to
learning from the Seder
that we have it within us
to sustain
one another
we pray to pray
to be able to
