Most people find me plain and dry
Packaged in a simple box, living a simple life,
Mistaken for a simple cracker
I may seem as plain as a blank sheet of paper, but I speak the urgency of ancient times
Born out of a mixture of failure, I am a symbol of tenacity
I may have failed in my ability to become bread, but I succeeded in giving hope to my people
I inspire perseverance and strength to everyone I serve
On the day that remembers,
I lay proudly in the center of the table alongside my brothers and sisters.
By myself, I may not be the most delicious, but together we explode with flavor.
People do not know our worth, but I do
Matzo-ball soup, Chocolate Matzo, Matzo Brei
My versatility is beyond infinity
I mix, I blend, I am resilient in the face of adversity, just like my people
Although I can break, I will never bend.
