PURIM POEM by Rachel M

Queen Esther

My sister Hadassah

reigned with beauty, intelligence and bravery

But she wasn't always this way

Yes in fact, there came a day

when her loyalty to her God and People

was put to the test

When Vashti was kicked out and Hamman made a big mess

And well, you know the rest

When a caterpillar is first born 

It faces many trials and tribulations 

Before it goes a soar’n

Hadassah was a beautiful Israelite princess 

but it took many obstacles to overcome

before she could fully blossom into the famous

and cherished Queen Esther that we love

When a caterpillar is first born 

It faces many trials and tribulations 

Before it goes a soar’n

Haman was a man with greed for power

so much so that he decreed the people to bow down to him

He declared that Israel would see its final hour

Predators lurk within the night

with such powerful bodies

they cause so much of a fright

That only the brave and loyal ones can overcome 

and put up a great fight

Mordecai was a faithful and devoted servant to the God of Israel

and due to his loyalty did not bow down to Haman

His faith is a lesson to be cherished and followed through and through

Because of this great act Israel was able to join as one family and rise up 

and do what they had to do

Wisdom and Unity

Will win the fight

And leave you the best

You’ll be the shining light

Hadassah and her people fasted three days

for Haman had planned to kill Israel to satisfy his evil ways

 Later she stood before the King

Which was forbidden and could result into her receiving the royal Zing!

But the God of Israel softened Ahasuerus’ heart

and Hadassah fond favor in his sight from the start

Our sister was brave and asked the king to save her people

Her loyalty to the God of Israel was shown and Israel was Redeemed!

When a caterpillar is first born

It faces many trials and tribulations 

Before it goes a soar’n
