Original lyrics
My dear Ima I'm writing this letter To say the things I never said Of my impressions As your child These thoughts are running Through my head As far back As I can remember You said Shema with me at night Each week I saw you Welcome Shabbos I saw your candles Burning bright You made our home a house of Torah Encouraged Abba to learn each night You stood behind him during hard times You gave him strength in your own way You taught us all about the mitzvos Showed us the right way from the start We always saw your love for Torah And you instilled it in our hearts Now your children Have grown older And each one has gone His separate way Yet we still follow In your footsteps You made us what we Are today Now your daughter Is a mother She does the things You used to do Not only did you Build your own home But Ima, you built My home too
