Bitter - SWEET

You gotta be happy

Yet I want to be snappy

(My editors removed this sentence)

Cheerful, happy?!

We live in a dark world

The streets are full of garbage

We haven’t seen our Rebbe for over 17 years

We have a horrendous president

Our bodies are weak

Our minds are dull

So much suffering

So much pain

Parnassa, health, chinuch, shiduchim….!!!!

Closing our eyes

Muting our cries

That is not the way

No way, ho-zay!

Going deeper

Seeing farther

Tapping into realities

Beyond all the casualties

Counting our blessings

And appreciating the simple stuff

This can go very far

When things are tuff

Painting on a smile

Does seem to work

Your soul wants to dance

Come let us tanse!
