Just came back from a Vort
In this sleety snowy shower
Driving out there is not so simple
And it’s not even rush hour!
I was practically dripping from head to toe
‘Cause I couldn’t find the right entrance, you see
So the snow fell right on top of my head
Till I found where the Vort was happening.
Although it may not have been easy
To head out on such a snowy New York eve
I’m grateful it was for a happy reason
That my home I had to leave.
I recall approximately one year ago (Hebrew calendar)
With an impending snowstorm overhead
I stood with others at a Levaya
Of a dear relative and friend.
As a year since he has passed away
Is almost upon us, there’s a Simcha here
And I hope it heralds many more to come
A joyous, celebration-full, happy year!
