Poem 65- The Assent ( a poem for my lovely cousin and his beautiful wife who made aliyah )

The Assent

It was the dream they taught us to will in to fruition
It was the highest expression of personal Zionism
It was the life choice, which proved to everyone
You
Believed
And I believe in you as you climb
The stairs, to the place where it is easier to
Be you, no excuses, no tests
It is the place where every breath you breathe is g-dly and
Every 3 steps a good deed
It is the place of our history and our covenant
The place we hold as our own,
Our present no excuses just tests
It will be the place of you future, the place you call שלי הבית
It will be the place you have firsts and lasts
It will be the place you find all manner of sustenance
No excuses, no tests, just life
The life you chose for yourself and a country chosen for you by your faith
And your history
This time is for you
Your turn to be a חלוץ
So ובהצלחה תפחד אל

With love and prayers from the diaspora
And easy jet kisses x
