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

That day of rest is there for a reason; glad to know you are also taking advantage of it.

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.

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
