G-d’s Glass Jar

Because this glass jar I call life, 
overfills with the unforeseen, 
the lid
almost bursting, G-d’s hand 
never giving 
in to the chaos, always
holding down 
the lid. 

Because of the glimmer 
of sunlight 
that filters through my eyelids, 
this jar lid, 
is 
mine 
and I vow
that I may savor 
the moments of sweet 
jam and brined 
pickles
equally, 

by G-d’s Good Graces.
