The Right Words (dedicated to my rabbi)


I don't know where you find the words

For services each week

The one time you claimed speechlessness

You still had a piece to speak

Retell the story, quote the law, maybe the words are there

Somehow you get lucky and it simply isn't fair!

No matter what time of year it is

You find something to say

Read me this week's Torah

And write me on my way
