Beraishit

בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

There was once a couple who waited many years,
To be blessed with a baby they prayed and shed many tears,
At last they were blessed with a baby boy,
They were so grateful and full of joy.

When the boy grew up, he went to Yeshivah every day,
His father walked him all the way,
The boy studied Torah with all his heart,
"Beraishit Barah Elokim" is how the Torah does start.

The boy told his father that he didn't have to walk him all the way,
He could meet his friends and he would be ok,
At last, the father did agree,
And he went to meet his friends happily.

His happiness didn't last long,
He was kidnapped by an officer who was strong,
To hold onto his Chumash with all his might he did try,
But the officer put it in the king's library, on a shelf so high.

Meanwhile , the king was very sick,
They called the doctors quick,
To get a book of medicine from the library they did go,
They returned with the Chumash, to read Hebrew nobody did know.

The king's officer recognized the book,
He called the young boy to come and take a look,
The boy began reading the first verse,
The king began feeling better instead of feeling worse.

"In the beginning, Hashem created the heaven and the earth" he did explain,
By the time he was done, the king had no more pain,
"What would you like for saving my life?" the king asked the boy,
"To be reunited with my parents, is the only thing that will bring me joy!"

To see his parents he did yearn,
In a royal carriage he did return,
From all the king's gifts nothing could compare,
To his Chumash which he held so dear!
