Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

To Stand Before Him

I stand before You
Man, the crown of creation
a speck in the cosmos, if that...

i bow before You
ceding my will
to do Yours

i pray before You
my words straining
to be heard...

I retreat from You
go forth into the world
strengthened by Your touch

Michelle Faulkner July 15, 2021 at 4:09 PM Very moving and spiritual, gw, just one question, on the last stanza, the first 'you' is not capitalized but the final 'Your' is, was that to signify the last 'you' is not an almighty being (or am I just overthinking and it's just a typo?) Gershon Wolf July 15, 2021 at 6:00 PM Thanks, Michelle, and yes, it's a typo (now fixed, thanks to your alert eye!). Blessings, Gershon
