*Darling Friends, On this Shabbot I wish you Peace, and Sweetness always*

during moments of confusion

amid whispers of distress

and delirious delusions

I wish you Sweetness nothing less

in the mist

and pouring rainfall

in the sorrows I address

feeling kissed

and rarely painful

I wish you sweetness nothing less

for in times I seldom mention

when my limbs and soul knew stress

came Love’s kind and simple unction

soothing tears I would repress

so living heart to heart Love’s function

I wish you sweetness nothing less
