Building Blocks

Take a walk through this neighborhood

That barely stood a decade ago

Now it is a thriving community

And one look gives you all there is to show

 

Stone houses, built up so high

Children running, barely shy

Communal caring, unlike any other

Where one looks out for sister or brother

 

It's hard to believe

That this is mostly brand new

Built by dedicated hands

For the sake of each Jew

 

And now I come in

To see the hard work that was done

And turned this barren desert

Into a home of love and fun

 

A Yishuv, built from distinct building blocks

Constantly growing, around the clocks

Beating time that said, "No way!"

Is now a community that will not sway.
