She Elevates Humanity

~ More than Israel has kept the Sabbath
        The Sabbath has kept Israel ~ 
                          -- Anonymous


  She restores my sense of balance
    returns my sanity
  Lifts me high above the workplace
    elevates humanity

  Friday night two angels come 
    gliding through the door
  Behold! Sabbath lights kindled 
    ~ the world's at peace once more
