Word Prompt – RABBI AKIVA – Sari Kopitnikoff

"Comfort"

The temple in ruins Among ashes and rubble A fox prowls

The students weep But Akiva laughs The redemption will be

A dash of hope In the darkness of night Akiva, you have comforted us

Houses in ruins Among ashes and rubble Families torn

We loudly weep But Akiva laughs The redemption will be

A glimmer of hope In the darkness of night Akiva, you still comfort us
