“When Moshiach comes, what will be?”
My small son asks, looking up at
me.
“Will there be candies on trees so tall,
Lollipops, toffees,
chocolates and all?”
“Big red bicycles for girls and boys,
Clowns and games and lots of swell
toys?
Long, sunny days to play outside,
Jumping and laughing and running
to hide?”
I gaze at his face so eager and bright,
I think of Moshiach when all will
be right.
No more pain, good bye to woe,
Peace and prosperity the world
will know.
No more ill children, no more fear
A world filled with joy, happiness and
cheer.
Farewell to evil, to war and to strife,
All will live together,
have a beautiful life.
The world will be bathed in HashemÂ’s holy light
His glory and greatness –
His powerful might.
No longer hidden, revealed openly to all,
His love for
His children – both big and small.
The holy Bais Hamikdosh will stand once more
On the wings of
eagles His people will soar.
Will there be candies, my darling, I
say,
That and so much more will come each day.
So pray for Moshiach will all your heart,
Wait for him daily – that is a
start.
Each day brings him closer and ever so near,
We must be ready to
greet him each day of the year.
HeÂ’s just around the corner, it may be today
He’ll come to tell us – let’s
be on our way.
HeÂ’ll take each one of us by the hand
HeÂ’ll lead every one
of us to our own Holy Land.
So dream of your candies and chocolate in trees
IÂ’ll dream of peace and no
more skinned knees.
Together weÂ’ll hope and fervently pray,
That Moshiach
comes NOW, this minute, TODAY!
