Seven Days

S even Days without prayer,
E ventually makes one week.
V exation finally takes it's toll,
E xistence here becomes bleak.
N ever talking with your God,
D oesn't help a bit,
A nd you sit in self defeat,
Y ou simply brood and sit.
S even Days without prayer.

S even Days without prayer,
E ventually makes one weak.
V ent it, simply let it out,
E xpound on it, just speak.
N ever just forget to pray.
D on't let it slip away.
A lways take a little time.
Y ou need it every day.
S even Days of Prayer.

You must be a student of Moses Maimonides!! The incredible Philosopher/Physician/Rabbi of the 12th century ruled that even one who is raised in the forest by wolves must eventually come to acknowledge his Maker and to pray every day. Kudos to you for this great poem. Thanks, Gershon
