Spiritual explorer
Tomorrow we begin our religious expedition,
Tomorrow we step in to the land we were
given and had to fight for.
Tomorrow we will deliver messages to the
almighty in words we have learned only from the mouths of others learned and
devout enough to be included.
Tomorrow we complete a cycle defined by
most ancient liturgy known to monotheism and tomorrow we watch as ascension
occurs as we peep over a wall at a wall that held the deepest secrets and the
grandest spirit.
Tomorrow a child who I saw birthed and
bathed, who I saw cry and sing Tom Jones classics, who effortlessly transposed
the gaps between school and friends and hardship becomes not only barmitzvah
but the chivalrous gentleman we knew he would become as he stood protecting his
family and worked to find himself, even only a small way through his journey.
Today I stand proudly knowing how hard she
has worked to create you.
Today I stand knowing how much he has
supported you.
Today I stand understanding the kind of
love you share.
Today I stand basking in the praise and
warmth all here wish to show.
And I could not be happier to see what you
have become, hodrulimou- what a handsome and exceptional man you have become.
