The Wonderful Word of Blue

A Jew looks at the blue of his ritual fringe * thinks of the wonderful world he's in The deep blue of the sea meets the horizon blue shades of the sky his eye's on 'Til he arrives at the Throne of Glory, where sits the King Who inspires him to do all the right things ~ that to Heaven helps earthlings wing _____________________________________________________ * Note:'Ritual fringes' are found attached to the ends of prayer shawls worn by married Orthodox Jewish men and some post-bar-mitzvah boys in synagogue, as well as by some Conservative and Reform Jewish men and women. Almost all Orthodox males over three years old also wear a lighter four-cornered garment, with ritual fringes attached, under their shirts during waking hours. During Temple times, one of the fringes was a deep blue color. (Not now, but we use our imaginations). ~ gw
