Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Every Minute of Every Day

    Thank God for waking up, for opening our eyes
       Another day is at hand 
       filled with opportunity
         perhaps a wedding band

   Thank God for releasing our arms from sleep
      Thank God for separating the land from the water
      For giving us two legs, for letting us upright walk
      …not to mention creatures who think and talk 

   Thank God for girding us with strength
      for giving us perception 
      in three dimensions        
      height, width, and length

   Thank God every minute of every day
      for the countless miracles He brings our way
      for our elbows, shoulders, our feet down there
      for our eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair

   Thank Him profusely the day before we die
      Do it devotedly ~ we’ll begin to understand ‘WHY’

Michael Tor November 18, 2024 at 6:34 AM Thank you Lord. I did what you said Gershon. We take for granted all we are blessed with. You remind us here to be thankful. A great reminder and Poem written by you. A fav for me to always be reminded. God bless you my friend for reminding us...

Paul Willason November 18, 2024 at 3:24 AM and thank God, dear Gershon, for being granted the gift to write such a poem. After all, poetry is God's favourite means of making himself known ...although some would argue its music.
