3. Every Day

We go where we need to go,
just so, just right, we go to the light,
and then somehow, we don't stay,
slowly we run away

2. 51 Year Old Woman Loses Battle To Cancer

By Rabbi Neil Fleischmann

He said that he knew little
and understood even less
he wrote it as a poem
it was about someone else

Standing in his position
his world was question free
pain illness and suffering
were problems for you and me

Then the fat lady died
no longer could he sing
but only sigh wail and cry
the truth no longer denied

1. The Green Eyed Monster Meets The Thing With Feathers

By Neil Fleischmann

When no hope remains

she makes you crazy

she makes you destroy

what you once hoped for

When no hope remains

she has you kill off

what you gave up on

in yourself and others

As long as there is hope 

she leaves some space

for you to try and change

and to banish her forever

As long as there is hope

she lays down her arms

and holds back her force

she lets you have peace
