Hustle of Hanukkah
Hustle of Hanukkah
somehow squeezing it in
In between holidays
falling often mid week
In between school and work
and numerous car trips
In between tradition
and finding your own way
In between Maccabees
the temples destruction
In between stolen oil
a miracle appears
In between night’s darkness
inner warmth radiates
In between lights glowing
throughout cold winter days
In between your mom’s arms
and between dad’s embrace
Making Hanukkah fit
in between for eight days
