Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

If God Is Holy, Then What of Me

Who is Holy?
    The Lord is Holy
  Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts *
    Humble as dust, despite the boasts

  If He is Holy, then what of me
    Am I then impure
  It seems I am not
    But how to know for sure

  When I opt out of vulgar, vicious speech
    Relationships promiscuous, lewd
  I release my body from disgrace
    My soul lights up my beaming face

  Now I too am Holy, though not like Him
    My sanctity fits only me
  Like a giant candle, G-d transfers Light
    His sacred flame, invested in thee
