Beautiful Day

It's a day for remembering.

There was a time all my chums had parties celebrating what we'd studied.

I'd had the opportunity to sing songs our cantor taught us for every event -

there was no party for me . . .

Even the parents noticed there was no fancy party for the girl who learned the songs and sayings -

along with their sons.

So, some grandmothers held an event.

They gathered in a living room, laughing, enjoying their favorite snacks

and

requested i tell my stories.

I shared the portion I'd learned for "My Day."

(Always Important in my heart.)

All the grandmothers were pleased.

Then, they put everything down,

and asked me to sing a special song.

Our Cantor helped me learn a new song that was Very Popular

and Important to our hearts.

It's called "Jerusalem the Gold."

Over so many years I've shared that same song

with audiences everywhere i went.

But, No One loved that song as much as the grandmothers.

They listened with tears in their eyes

and we all sang the chorus over and over together.
