On the Lighter Side
Purim Poem
Purim is a time of joyous
commemoration, But we get to enjoy an extra occasion. For on this day
our son was born, He’s turning one this very morn. Light appears in
many guises, At times it takes on mysterious disguises. It can hide
behind a cloud if you truly believe it, It can sparkle from within if
you’ll only perceive it. The light of our lives Eliezer has become,
Along with his siblings five. They delight and enlighten us in
countless ways, They keep our souls alive. So, in our celebration we
invite you to partake, As we light the first candle on our son’s
birthday cake. And pause a moment to ponder “Venahapach Hu” Sometimes
“What’s Down Is Up” is really true!!! This poem was written by
Eliezer’s Mommy in celebration of his first birthday, and was enclosed
in every Shalach Monos on Purim Day. Eliezer is a delightful little boy
who has Down syndrome.
