Lee Diamond – To my “Tzabar ” Sons From an Abba(father)
You’ll really never know
My heart
You’ll really never fathom
My soul
Will you understand
Why we’re here?
Why I left
The land Of my birth
To the land of my
Calling.?
For you it’s home
The land of your birth
It’s natural
It’s the only life that
You’ve known
For me, your abba
It’s completion
Of a life of love
Of a people
The Jewish people
I was born as a Jew
And knew no better
No different
Even took it for granted
But one day I woke up
With a burning passion
To feel myself
Within the soul of
The Jews
I chose to learn
I chose to discover
My own culture
My own history
My own language
My own religion
And I fell in love
With my being
My Unique being
uniquely part
Of a whole
Called the Jewish people
It captivated me
I became whole within it
And I came here
To Israel
So that You could be natural
Jews
Not outsiders in another’s land
Not in need to find that
Jewish spark within you
But as the unknowing spark
The 24/7 spark
That burns as your life.
The silent fulfillment of the
לבב פנינה The inner heart
Which defines you
And guides you
I’m here for you
So you need not
Seek
The Jew you are
You’re the unconscious and conscious
Jew
I’m the self conscious Jew
You’re the natural Jew
Thank God
Let It burn
“In the land of Tzion And Jerusalem”
