Michel M.J. Shore

October 7 Commemoration  and v’Zot ha’Bracha

When all has been said and all has been  done,

The last blessing of Moses gives us hope.

Where to go now? from here within ourselves,

Nowhere but affirm, we remain to stay!

 

To go on is the Eternal Promise,

Our everlasting hope to renew ourselves;

Begin anew where we left off.

And know that tomorrow is a new day.

 

What is there to do, everything and more!

In complete unity, understanding

There is no other, the other is me.

“Teach us to treasure each day, for us

 

To acquire a heart of wisdom,” to receive

The ultimate blessing of our inheritance.

That we affirm to remain, to stay!

Over and forever again, again!
