Roots of Eretz Yisrael
Eretz Yisrael*,
your roots are planted
deep within me.
Enemies try to wrest you
from me
and to destroy us,
you and me together,
off the earth
but they can’t.
Eretz Yisrael,
My roots are planted
deep within you
Evil ones try to distance me
from you,
to annihilate us,
me and you together,
from this world,
but they can’t.
Eretz Yisrael,
HaShem* is watching over you
even as He set my origins
and my destiny here
We will never part,
me from the Land of my Fathers
nor this Promised Land
from me.
We can’t.
*Eretz Yisrael—The Land of Israel

That’s a beautiful poem. It sounds like the Lord is calling His children home. The House of Jacob fulfilling the prophesy of Ezekiel 37: 5-6. "Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these dry bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This what the Sovereign Lord GOD says to these dry bones. I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.
6. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Than you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Thank You LORD GOD for allowing me, a small grain of sand, to see, and be witness to Your great and mighty workmanship and the fulfillment of your word and prophesies. Thank You LORD. Bless You LORD.
thank yous for sharing this beautiful poem with us. once in Israel, always the heart is captured by Israel!
I love the handcrafted jewelry designs. I wish I could read Hebrew and may start studying…. This poem is lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents with those of us who love the Holy Land of the God of Israel.
Feel sad that Jews for no fault of theirs had to go through pain, suffering and even death from the past until now. October 7 was the worst
Praying for your safety and security in your promised Land.
