Guardian Angel of PROTECTING THE YOUNG
I am the Guardian of Protecting the Young
from fear
from injury
from hunger
from terror
from poverty
from humiliation
from bullying
from all abuse
I wish that they had given me more power
We never meant them any harm…

Guardian Angel of WALKING THE KIDS TO “SHUL”
so magical
so wondrous
so transcendent
may god grant us the health and the healthy children…
and the freedom
open our eyes to grasp its enchantment
open our hearts to gently listen to their souls
as we walk ensemble to shul
spring, summer, winter and fall
rain or shine
even snow
do not underestimate its power
do not underestimate the gift
their hearts will rarely be as pure— as when they are walking to shul with their parents
united in their goals
protected and nurtured every–which–way
an enchanted SPACE within the wider enchanted SPACE of shabbos
not necessary to dissect it fully
just gently… ever–so–gently enjoy the moment
if they still let you, hold their hand
if not, just hold their love
but whatever you do, don’t mess it up
this is your moment— for all of you
aliyah (ascent) of sorts to the Bet Hamikdash (Holy Temple)… ascent to Holiness… together… does it get much better?
winter: wrap that scarf well… make sure you have good gloves in your pocket
spring: look at those azaleas, rhododendrons, roses, behold God’s wonders
summer: oh, I can’t believe it’s so hot, dad…
fall: Rosh Hashonah the leaves are turning and falling off so all must be right with the world, children…
may God give us the wisdom
to treasure the moments
to treasure the gift
to treasure the memory
to treasure our good fortune
to treasure the treasure
ask them about life
ask them about God
ask them about their dreams
and their dreams will come true.
