Poem Title:
Poem
-From the Passover musical that I wrote, "On Eagles' Wings"- Allow me just to dream this once Of things of life, of things of love Allow me just to sing one song Of if I could escape from wrong Of children playing, dancing, laughing In a home and land their own Of if we would no more know hunger For we’d reap what we have sown Allow me just to dream this once Oh, what if life were fair and just Then I’d be free, I’d have a voice Then I would get to have a choice Then no more would the whiplash strike me No more would I scream or cry Then when I rise I would not fear The day of work, the foreman’s eye Allow me just to dream this once Oh, what if He will save our sons? And, oh! Could Moses truly be The one He sent to set us free? Yehovah, now we have some hope It seems at last that You shall act Oh, shall you take our wildest dreams And truly form them into fact? No more straw? What are we going to do? Oh, why did ever I forget? The things I want I will not get And if I choose to dream some more Then things are harsher than before And what could Moses do to make That tyrant Pharaoh let us go? And was he sent to save us? Things are worse, the answer must be no! So let me never dream again Allow me just to speak once more Of joy and hope you had before I beg you do not let it go Although this news is harsh, please know Though Pharaoh’s heart is hardened now And, yes, we often wonder why Yehovah still is strong, He has A plan, and Pharaoh must comply I still dare to hope
