Shot Out To Yiddishe Mamas:past,present&future



There’s a park of green grasses with roses and daisies
Majestic, unreal, so picture perfect
And at the center, surrounded by gardens
Flowing so freely, so beautiful
Is a fountain, a fountain of love

Spreading it’s wisdom, nurturing soils
Breathing life into each precious seed
It doesn't let up as it gives of itself
Watering them as they blossom from seeds to trees

There’s something about a Yiddishe Mama, that makes her  attract every soul
The sun shines all over, but the warmth we feel most, is from the rays of a Jewish woman’s heart
Through kindness and love, laughter and tears, she stands as the pillar of the home
Baruch Ata Hashem, how grateful  I am Hashem, sheasani kirtzono

She sits near the candles as Shabbos arrives
Watching the flames shining bright
Her head bowed in prayer, her heart sings along
The tears flow, she can’t help but cry
They trickle down pages of a yellowed Tehillim,
 Slowly disappearing out of sight
As each one flies up, soaring straight through the heavens
And the flames, they burn brightly through the night

There’s something about a Yiddisshe Mama, that makes her  attract every soul
The sun shines all over, but the warmth we feel most, is from the rays of a Jewish woman’s heart
Through kindness and love, laughter and tears, she stands as the pillar of the home
Baruch Ata Hashem, how grateful I am Hashem, sheasani kirtzono

Challah, candles, and family purity, Sara paved the way
For the Shechina to hover so near
And Rivka in her kindness fed all the camels, 
Rachel cried for her children, for she felt our pain
And the greatness of Leah, shines forth through her sons
Thousands of years, yet we still feel their presence

For they've sparked for us an eternal flame.
