Almond Trees, Renewed in Bloom

Almond trees, renewed in bloom, do they not proclaim

life returning year by year, love that will remain?

Almond blossom, sign of life in the face of pain,

raises hope in people’s hearts: spring has come again.

​

War destroys a thousandfold, hatred scars the earth,

but the day when almonds bloom is a time of birth.

Friends, give thanks for almond blooms swaying in the wind:

token that the gift of life triumphs in the end.
