Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

Her Specialty, Spirituality

Sarah, partner of Avraham
  the strength behind Isaac
Her trademark, hospitality
  her strength, spirituality

In Haran, on the way to Cana'an
  scores of her visitors saw the light
There is One, only One, God in the world
  Sarah and Avraham set former pagans aright

In the terebinths of Mamre
  angels foretold she'd bear a son
At age 90 she could scarcely believe 
  that she would raise Isaac with Avraham

Yet raise Isaac she did, into a great man
  As courageous as his dad, when his journey began
Isaac's Faith tested at age 37, bound up for sacrifice
  Thanks to Sarah's strength, ready to pay any price
