The miracle of Purim
Changed things for our nation
From darkness to sunny days
Bleak time to celebration.

The Torah learning of the children
Like a gentle springtime shower
And the earnest Teshuvah of the people
Caused salvation to flower.

Looking around now at the world
In dark and dreary times we go
We're here to plant seeds of hope
For our next miracle to grow!

Hidden beneath the soil, lies something out of sight.
'bud' with 'mulch' sun and water, hope reaches a new height.
Dig through the purim story, Hashem's name is nowhere there.
But 'compost' nes and we all know, it was He who saved us with care.
Hashem is close Hashem is near, taking care of us from behind,
With a bit of weeding and growing, the geula we will find.

Today our family of gardeners
Are joining you in the Purim celebration
Bringing our “sunny” smiles
A way of commemoration

When the wicked Haman
The “root” of all evil and wrong
“Planted” this idea to get rid of the Jews
He wanted to “weed” out those he felt don’t belong

As the situation “grew” more worrisome
And Haman planned to hang Mordechai on the “tree”
The yidden knew that only the water of Torah and Prayer could keep them alive
As they tried to “uproot” the decree

HaShem , brought a miracle
And turned planet “earth” upside down
A v’napachu occurred
All over Shushan town

And that’s why today
We take a break from our daily toil
Of “planting and seeding”
And “turning the soil”

We remind ourselves that Torah is our “water”
There is nothing new under the “sun”
We will always be proud to keep “growing”
And spread “sunlight” to everyone

Klal Yisroel will always be
A “rose” amongst thorns, it’s true
We may be surrounded by evil
But we are proud to be a Jew

Let’s use this day as a reminder
That HaShem can turn things around
And may he lift all our spirits up
Way off the “ground”

As I wander in the garden far away I see
Flowers they surround every living tree
As I see the flowers swaying under a clear sky
I can imagine you wish you could join me and I clearly can see why
The flowers grow despite the thunder and the cold
They break though the earth with courage that is bold
Isn’t it a wonder they survive when in thirst
They manage to grow back when life is at its worst
My trees they know that roots are deep and strong
They have seen much, and struggle to belong
We look to the trees and flowers planted over here
And enjoy their resilience that guides us through the fear (or year)
From my window I have a special view
I can hide and cower and focus on what never grew
But if I want I can eye every special seed
And remember that they are unique, even if a just weed
