THE PAST

AS I GET OLDER B.H. AND WE START GETTING NEARER
TO THE END OF THIS YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT,
I ALWAYS REMINISCE ABOUT LIFE AND REMEMBER STORIES OF THE PAST.

MY BROTHER AND I WERE ALWAYS KNOWN AS THE " TERRIBLE TWINS".
MY FATHER WAS VERY EMBARRASSED WITH US
BUT  MY STEP- MOTHER WAS NOT .
SHE UNDERSTOOD OUR HONESTY AND TRUTH
AND THAT WE HATED PEOPLE WHO LIED.

I THINK WE WERE SIX OR SEVEN AND EVERY YEAR OUR
FAMILY  USED TO GO
FOR THE PESACH  SEDER TO MY GRANDFATHER.  
MY GRANDFATHER USED TO RUN THE SEDER
AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE AFIKOMAN FOR THE CHILDREN TO STEAL.

MY GRANDMOTHER ,WHO WAS AN UNFAIR PERSON
AND WAS SITING AT THE TABLE NEXT TO MY GRANDFATHER,
TOOK THE AFIKOMAN AND GAVE IT TO ONE OF HER FAVORITE GRANDCHILDREN.
MY BROTHER AND I,WHEN WE SAW THIS DISHONESTY,
WE WOULD NOT LET THE SEDER CONTINUE AND DISRUPTED THE SEDER.
MY UNCLE WANTED TO GIVE BOTH OF US A PRESENT AS IF WE HAD
GOT THE AFIKOMAN,
BUT WE DID NOT WANT THAT,
WE WANTED TRUTH AND HONESTY.

THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND US THEN AS TWO TRUTHFUL BOYS
AND I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND US TO-DAY.
WHEN PRAYING TO G=D YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TRUTHFUL MOUTH
AND BE AN HONEST PERSON IN ALL YOUR DEEDS OF LIFE.
