Poem 124 - Spiritual explorer


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.
