Hi All,
I had to do write this. it has been eating me up for a long, long time, but having read about others coming out that they were gay & in a relationship, I'm taking the plunge. I've spoken to my immediate friends and family. I hope people will be as understanding as they have been to me this morning
( :
My face is tears like rain
because being able to tell you
something special
has taken away my pain
my feeling of inadequacy,
my fear, my feelings,
my potential hypocrisy
I feel no fear, only shalom
I've got a girl friend
Well more than just a friend
a companion, a soul mate, a lover
I'm no longer having to pretend
I can't help my feelings of whom I love
I feel no fear, only shalom
I thank my family and friends for understanding
for being loving and kind always
I know some of you don't understand,
but love me as a sister
& for wanting to provide a loving welcome
to my friend
I feel no fear, only shalom
God created me in his image
He knit me together in my mother's womb,
knows my innermost thoughts
I am one of his children
He does not put a stumbling block before the blind
He restores the years the the locusts have eaten
The Merciful One, blessed be his name,
overlooks what is out of a person’s control
I feel no fear, only shalom
I can't live my life out without companionship and love
God knows this, I hope the rest of you do
Do not judge another person until you have been in their place
Don't judge me by what I am, but what I do
I feel no fear, only shalom
What is more important, the quantity of observance or the quality?
Rather than query what happens in bedrooms
Praise what's going on in the living rooms
welcoming guests, keeping Kosher, loving the stranger,
not bitching, honouring people,
being part of Torah centred families & values
I feel no fear, only shalom ...
...for I shall leave judgement to the Almighty.
In the meantime we have a life to live and live it to the full.
Hannah ...... & my girlfriend Sarah
Shalom Hashem Aleikhem!
