Remembering Israel

I have been to the Holy Land But only for a few days Saw the path Jesus walked Saw where the brave Jewish soldiers soldiers made their last stand against the Roman legions Saw the wailing wall - the last remnant to King Solomon's mighty temple! Went to Y'ad Vashem - where the slaughtered millions are remembered Now back in the good old USA Where we face plenty of trouble! Mankind being what it is there is always something to struggle with A summery day in the big apple Shabbes is here - and so is poetry Which can change your life if you let it So write on all you poets out there in the darkness Your poetry may be read in the Holy Land, in Africa - in Asia - in Europe - in Australia and many other places on our home - the Earth I recommend you take a trip to the Holy Land There is a little bit of Israel in all of us
