Ribbono Shel Olam,
Merciful One of the Universe,
As winter arrives,Â
And the snow falls,
And everything is covered in pristine white,
Â
As difference disappearsÂ
And the landscape becomes soft, monochrome,
And cold,
Â
Do not forget about me.
Please God,Â
Do not forget about
Little… old… me…
Â
I am in need of warmth
From the hearth
And from the heart.
Â
As it becomes difficult to travel,
As many seclude in the warmth of their homes,
Let me not be forgotten.
Â
Let a spark of fire,
Of warmth,
Of time,Â
Float upon the winter winds to my home.
Â
May the spark find my hearth prepared,
The wood stacked,
The kindling waiting.
Â
May that little spark find its way to my home.
May it find its way into my arms,
And may the fire in my heart be kindled,
Stoked, burning brightly.
Â
May I be lit, and then share my fire from within.
Amen
