Humbly into the Night
By Michael Druck © 2006
I�ve walked humbly into the night,
unwilling to explain.
I�ve walked in snow and ice,
and in the summer�s heavy rain.
I walked wrapped in a prayer shawl,
greeting shabbos on my way.
I hear the chanting of prayers,
and the welcoming of the day.
I see women bent over candlesticks,
with their hands covering their eyes.
I�ve seen flames flickering in the night,
and G-d�s creations dotting the skies.
I hear a rabbi singing a song
that I�ve heard since I was a child.
�Shalom Aleichem� rings in my ears,
lingering, singing, more than awhile.
I�ve walked humbly into the night.
I walk humbly, not knowing where I will go.
And enter a hallway that only G-d knows.
I�m welcomed there because I am a Jew;
a home away from home, that I now knew
would welcome me.
And I walk humbly home into the night,
with blessings.
