Somewhere Near Forever
When you are asked
where you are going Friday night
tell them you are going
somewhere near forever
Our words rise heavenward
like smoke from a fire
as we taste a part of eternity
The world as we know it
is something we can deal with
if we look upwards
at the heavens with awe
This special time - this Shabbat
Links us with the past
points the way to
a worthy future
Brings us in tune
with the lyre David stroked
to ease Saul's pain
