Shevi’i shel Pesach

Says Rav Doron Perez, it’s truly the case,

That goals are achieved through a process,

One step at a time to be nurtured with care,

To be savored, like loving caresses.

Every rung in the ladder, a moment of thanks,

As we count, and see if we've progressed,

Learnt who we are, and what we could become,

With each nightfall, the next day is blessed.

Whether forty long years, or forty short days,

Or forty-nine treks to the dream,

To each day there’s a dawn, as well as a dusk,

Every moment, much more than it seems.

Vast splitting seas, or great mountains concealed,

In smoke, and in lightning, and fire,

Though the goal be far off, or painfully near,

Each dayenu we sing, brings us nigher.
