Rabbi Levi Cunin wishes a Happy Mother's Day to his mom and others in Malibu.
I wrote this poem in tribute to my mother, Odel Miriam Cunin, who indeed treats me and each of my twelve siblings as an only child.
A poem for my dear mother -- may she live and be well!
My sincere gratitude
To The One above
For providing us a mother
With so much love
Who nurtures each of us... as an only child
Her words are like honey,
Her smile full of heart
Her patience is priceless
Her style is an art
Even when we are trouble... and running wild
A woman of valor
You inspire in us awe
When we are in your company
It is difficult to withdraw
The comfort you give has no match...at all
We may be many in numbers ()
And impossible in needs
That never stops you
From your warmth and your good deeds
Your presence brings us comfort... especially when we fall
Many have done worthily
But you surpass them all
A G-d fearing woman
Your vision is tall
We pray that your dream
become realized... without delay
May you experience joy
Beyond limitations
May you be filled with light
For many generations
On behalf of all your children... Happy Mothers Day!
