I hang my soul on the washing line,


Let it breathe fresh air and let it shine,


Let the sunlight


Wash it all white.


 


Filth of old deeds have tarnished it black,


I want it all clean, I want it back,


Let the sunlight


Wash it all white.


 


When it’s clean I’ll take it to heaven,


Like good, fresh bread I let it leaven;


Eternal light


Will keep it white.

Dear Peter

Realizing it or not, it seems to me that this is your Prayer-Poem for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, on 20SEP04!

Shannah tovah v'Khatimah tovah!
(Have a)good Year and a good Inscription (into the Book of Life)!

Yours most kindly
Gabor
