Miriam

My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame maiden is she with tumbled hair uncovered. She strikes the match and prays for G-d's acclaim. Like Sara in the tent she lights the flame pristine hands in front of two eyes hovered. My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame At sunset each flickering flame frames a wish for communion, peace discovered, she strikes the match and prays for G-d's acclaim. The table is set, the family exclaim, the challah's cut, the shofar uncovered. My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame. May peace and tranquility ever reign from sunset to sunrise rediscovered, she strikes the match and prays for G-d's acclaim. This great mitzvah is sister Miriam's aim since the dawn of time this act's recovered. My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame. She strikes the match and prays for G-d's acclaim. Dedicated to my baby sister Miriam who protects and serves. http://www.womeninthebible.net/1.7.Miriam.htm
