With every single passing of breath
We welcome a new birth
Our fresh blessing of life
Is placed upon this beloved earth
Adding to the cylinder of family at last
A beautiful being from the greats of our past
Birthed, brithed, beholden and true
Alas, an unknowing new generation of Jew
Untouched by our heritage, pride, and journey
Of all he will need to learn, honour and be
His place in a people, in this space of time
Will he carry the knowledge of then and mine
Lectures to learn of when time stood still
Remembering the nevers that may not heal
Struggles of a life that begged, borrowed and stealed
May he only know of happiness of gentle years
As more fresh enters the beginning of life cycles
Aging engages the top to take flight
Yet with the start and finish in this cylinder of life
Love of you, of them, and others will connect all to light
