Mourner's Kaddish

A prayer to the living

Send me on with love in your heart
Cry tears of joy for the life I have lived
Praise the source of life for connecting our lives
send me on to the next life, Send me on the way i lived
embrace what I was, not the space that I leave
Praise the source of life for allowing us to love

Send me on to the next life
Send me on without fear
Do not curse or rend your garments
Praise the source of life for granting us time

Send me on to the next life
send me on with praise
Sing songs of joy for all creation
praise the source of life giving us life

Send me on to the next life
send me on with libations and toasts
drink to your health and drink to life
praise the source of life for giving us words to share

Send me onto the next life
send me on with stones not flowers
do not add death to death
praise the source of life for all creation
send me onto the next life

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
