Time After Time They Come to Destroy Us

Folder: 
Passover Poems

Time after time they come to destroy us,

Day after day we live;

In love that flows from parents to children

We find the strength to give,

In love that flows beneath all memory

We find the strength to give.

Under the earth we lay our sorrows,

Life keeps them fresh and green;

In growth that springs from sunshine and rain

We find the strength to dream,

In hope that springs from the wounds of the earth

We find the strength to dream.



Come with me and fill my heart,

Come fill me with your song;

In the beauty of your smiling face

I know I will be strong,

In the beauty of your grieving face

I know I will be strong.



Tenderness lies enwrapped in darkness,

Music fills the night;

In love we feel for those who have loved us

There is eternal light,

In love we feel for one another

There is eternal light.
