Young

I am very young

I am only Sunday

not even yet Monday

My innermost being is joy

because of my youth

I am just starting to light the flame

and my old body

is already falling away

anticipating the new day

Each week I am gathering lights

When I am grown

and am brightly one flame

I will tightly take hold

of the tsitsit of Mashiach

and take his last name

Shabbat Shalom

for this was how

the menorah was made
