No two loves are quite the same,
Does that mean that one’s not true?
Two cloudless days are not alike,
But the sky can be as blue.
Yaakov loved his first wife Leah,
But not the way that she desired,
An entire life felt less than loved,
For doing as Lavan required.
Expectations, we can learn from this,
Are premeditated disappointments,
What appears as less can be no balm,
There must be some healing ointment.
And thus for Leah our mother,
Who bore half of all his sons,
She did not see all that she hoped for,
But she could smile at what was.
