[Marsha Fensin <mfsings...>]

Here are a set of lyrics that I got from the list a while back. There 
was no attribution of the lyricist. There is also one singable English 
verse in the Shireinu, p. 5.  Shabbat Shalom,
Marsha

Like the bee that brings the honey
Needs a stinger to compete
So our children learn to use
The bitter with the sweet.

And to keep the fires burning
In the night and in the day
For those who are returning
 From so far away.

Don't uproot what has been planted
May our efforts never cease.
May our dearest wish be granted
Bring us peace - oh bring us peace.

For the sake of all our lives Lord
May your mercies be complete.
For the stinger and the honey
And the bitter and the sweet.
