Belonging

a spiral of stained glass windows
 
My Judaism is mine
though others may fear it
might not believe it
or don’t want to hear it
It is mine.
 
My Judaism isn’t defined
by the color of my skin
my marital status
or the shape of my eyes
because it is mine.
 
My path is not a straight line
but rather an ever evolving circle
bringing my soul home
where it always belonged
My Judaism is mine.
 
Maybe in time
I will belong
without questions or doubts
as will the children of mine.
