Toldos
the awesome power of a bracha
incomprehensible except to those who
as in earlier times
believe in its transformative potency
to the sons of Yitzchok,
a divine and life-changing shefa
drawn down by their aged father
opalescent, enveloping, tangible
Ephraim, Menasheh, Sara, Rivka, Rachel, Leah
by these we bless all of our children
this beloved Shabbos ritual
the simple bracha we know
oh, to be capable of giving
as did our forebears
a blessing for each child
unique as their own neshama
help me to discern that bracha
for every precious gem
which celebrates their essence
kli and shefa, matim, one to the other
