Here is a little something for the Haggadah this year. What a great idea it is! 

I wanted to write something that stated this, which I truly believe, with all my heart; even in the darkest maze, we will always find guidance in Hashem.

With warm wishes,

Valentine



Rocked by motherly waters, 
confined in Moses baskets,
so is our earthly sojourn:

A frail craft with no sails 
Hugging the living waves 
as it welcomes every storm.

Seas can steer and lips can, too, 
for prayers are but pilgrims
longing for lands of rescue. 

Our hearts, be merry seafarers
who blinded, sail wholeheartedly: 

They sing to their seasoned father,
the clear-sighted captain, he who steers humbly.
