A PRESENT FOR ROSH HASHANAH
A small bird once
Sent me a feather.
I wanted to return it.
She replied: “Don't want to.
It's a Rosh Hashanah present,
May your
new year be nice and pleasant -
And me too.”
Thank you.
A low-hanging branch once
Sent me a red leaf.
I wanted to return it.
It replied: “No way!
It's a Rosh Hashanah present,
May your
new year be nice and pleasant -
And me too.”
Thank you.
A gray cloud once
Sent down a tiny raindrop.
One tiny little drop,
Totally unseasonal.
“It's a Rosh Hashanah present,
May your
new year be nice and pleasant -
And me too.”
Thank you.
A pretty girl once
Painted on sand for me
The sun and sky above,
And a flower on its stem.
“It's a Rosh Hashanah present,
May your
new year be nice and pleasant -
And me too.”
Thank you.
