Thirteen is a magical age
Girl to woman, brand new stage
Life is changing, body is, too
What's it mean to be a Jew?
No excuse or reason why
With your faith – identify
My Bas Mitzvah was a sign
Waited till I'm thirty-nine
Learning to read Torah, trope
The whole Megillah was my hope
It was smashing, I was great
So it came a little late
There aren't many who can say
"I'm a woman AND mom, today
In "Life Songs," Ellen Greiss Alexander takes you on a lyrical journey through some of life's most unforgettable moments. Her words will strike a familiar chord in your heart as you travel through your own self-discovery.
Ellen currently lives in New York with her husband, their two teenage sons and their dog, Jett. She is a mom who plays the drums, knits, kayaks, rides a scooter and hopes to inspire others with her Life Songs.
