My soul

emerged – east of the Nile river

deeper – in the Red sea

Nesting in the wilderness

Hatching in milk and honey

I fastened my shoes in Passover

Borrowed gold, exchanged my foreign speech,

not bruised, marked or curse

Yet-upright my soul stood proudly

My soul has a name in Canaan- that’s mighty sweet.
