Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

T G I F

The week begins, wind at my back
  By week's end, my front it attacks

Each day, I give it my best
  Jump on each task with admirable zest

And yet, by Friday afternoon
  The Sabbath cannot come too soon

Day of rest, day of prayer
  Refresh the spirit, hang in there

Terry Flood July 9, 2022 at 5:27 PM Gershon, you just described many a working week, including mine before I became self employed at which point ‘the sabbath’ became a fantasy. It would have taken me about 20 lines to illustrate the same point. Thank Gershon It’s Friday. Terry Gershon Wolf July 9, 2022 at 8:31 PM O.K., Terry: So, your comment was four lines; you 'owe me' 16 more lines. lol. Thank you, and Sabbath Peace, Gershon
