Written for Sara the night before her wedding
I once told you there’s a voice you’d hear
Whispering quietly in your ear
That it would come to you one fateful night
And now at last. you see I’m right
One day when you were not aware
Suddenly someone else was there
Bright and handsome by your side
And very soon you’ll be his bride
As the Rabbi pronounces you man and wife
Remember the story you’ve heard all your life
That your “beshert” became part of you
At the moment of birth
when your souls split in two.
