Days of Atonement
G’mar chatima tova.
Forgive me if I stumble
across the unfamiliar words.
We are not so different.
Each strives to do more good
than bad; at least to do no harm.
We pause for prayer and reflection,
aspire to be more caring, more giving;
make amends and atone for misdeeds.
So I pray for you my friend.
As the shofar sounds the end, may your
name be sealed in the Book of Life.
