SHUL

by, Ellen Greiss Alexander

There's a place I like to go
Catch my breath, the pace is slow
You can socialize, you can pray
Friday nights and Saturday

Every holiday has a reason,
Time of month or by the season
Lots to think about, more to learn
Why the Sabbath candles burn

Chants you've heard your whole life long
Words and feelings put to song
Sit down, stand up, bend the knee
Try to let your mind go free

It's a comfort, felt and known
Like a congregant's second home.
