The 'Whirlwind'
Despairing of lightening her mood
ten children her burden
her life spent
pushing and tugging
at a grindstone
of darkest despair
She wrote of her misery
to an elderly rabbi in Brooklyn
He promptly wrote back
words of encouragement
most unexpected advice
“Attend every wedding in town
Dance every dance
Whirl like the wind
Draw others into your circle”
The desperate women did just that
Her life changing by the week
as she drew her new friends
into her ever-widening circle
