MY FAMILY
Artwork by Manor Shadian

Born in Ireland,
My name is Geraldine
Married in the Holy Land
When I was just nineteen.
My husband, a master of fine art,
Gifted on his own.
Our three sons, close to my heart
Upright, young men have grown.

A Match Made in Heaven
As the willow bends towards the stream,
My love was drawn to me.
The memory of a distant dream.
My dance partner it was he.
Our meeting was by God designed.
He moved within our heart.
Another rendezvous declined.
If not we'd be apart.
Our eyes they met across the room.
He felt love at first sight.
I did not know he'd be my groom,
As I sat by him that night.
It was a perfect Israeli eve,
The moon shed a silver glow.
The soft breeze a spell did weave.
And love began to grow.
It did not take us very long ,
To choose to become wed.
Or love was passionate and strong,
No matter where life led.
Now after more than thirty years,
I view in retrospect.
Times filled with joy and some with tears,
God was our architect.
Our three sons grew up well,
As God controlled their fate.
We pray that they will also dwell.
With God's decreed soul mate.
