Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Lucky Man

I am a very lucky man
  to be a tiny part
    of God's grand plan

On the Sabbath I stay away
  from society's business
    for one whole day

Spend time with family and friends
  Pray, study, commune
    take stock of life's ends

Afterward, relaxed and refreshed
  I resume life's daily test
    primed to do my level-best

Robert Pettit April 24, 2021 at 8:42 PM I remember when I had a delivery job years ago. A family would not accept a delivery. I then realized it was about sunset on a Friday night. Your nice write reminded me of that moment. Gershon Wolf April 24, 2021 at 8:59 PM Interesting episode in (your) life... Today there are ways to accept a delivery that do not violate the Sabbath, but not a few decades ago. Thanks for sharing this, Robert, and for your continued support of my attempts a poetry. Have a woderful weekend, Gershon
