The Long and the Short of It

The Sabbath comes in so soon
  Unlike lazy Fridays in June
A light lunch, say grace, turn around
  The sun on it's way out of town

A long night is a gift for sleeping  
  Sabbath rest, all of us keeping
But once again, short is the day
  Synagogue, meal and snooze ~
           ~ Goodbye, Saturday

Bill Baker Date: 11/19/2021 4:56:00 PM Gives one a little stability and meaningful routine to be a part of. Great way to spend a day of rest and worship.

Man craves a foundation and a framework from which to operate. :) gw
