THE GIRL WHO RAN
There once was a girl who just ran
As if it were part of a plan
She wasn’t that fit – she had to admit
But still did the best that she can
She ran past what she could endure
When injured she searched for a cure
She set lofty goals - ran “rocks and ran rolls”
What possessed her she just wasn’t sure
Her family was proud but concerned
They admired the medals she earned
“We’re afraid it’s too much – ease up just a touch”
Their advice to the runner was spurned
She continued to run every day
Four a.m. she was off and away
When the world was asleep and all counting sheep
There was nothing to keep her at bay
For years she went up and then down
The call of the runners would sound
She’d rise up and train – though heat, cold and rain
Determined – the pavement she’d pound
Then one day when she wasn’t aware
There was suddenly someone else there
He had stolen her heart – he was handsome and smart
No one else she had known could compare
Now she’s running with him down the aisle
And the winner was her all the while
The medal of life – to be husband and wife
Is all shining through in her smile
Don’t give up – keep on going and here’s why
“Hope whispers give it just one more try”
The finish line waiting for you
And all of your dreams can come true
Love you forever my Soshie……Mom

"A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES"
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 you life
That your “beshert” became part of you
At the moment of birth when your souls split in two….
Believe it……Love you forever,
Mom
