Oh, My Child, My Child
My son is the greatest
Child in the world
Lest
He’s driving me crazy
Causing me pain
Anxiety and frenzy.
.
My son fills my heart
With unbound joy
Apart
From the times he’s causing it to split
Tearing it in two
Or boring a hole through it.
.
I cry sometimes
From the innocent
Wisdom that crosses his lips
I cry sometimes
Feeling impotent
To stop the inevitable eclipse
.
Oh, my son, my son
Do you know that everyday
I face the trial of Avraham
Oh, my child, my child
Will we too find that
Elusive ram hiding in the wild?
.
Oh, My Son, My Child
My Love, My Gift
My hope,
My Trial
