We All Wait For Shabbat Poem by Shalom Freedman

WE ALL WAIT

We all wait
For the time of peace
That is Shabbat
For the rest for the quiet
We know will come-

We all wait for Shabbat
It has been a hard long difficult week
And so much we had to think about
And do then
We can forget about on Shabbat-

We wait for Shabbat
For the rest
For the peace
For the long being in another place and world
Without the pains and the struggle and the worry-

Just quiet
Just rest
Just peace
Shabbat
