I
"Father" comes naturally
As eyes catch up with body
At this first dawn, we are reborn
Each day we awake. 'Might have gone
Where billions have, when they don't!
II
"LORD" with all the awe of an ancient Hebrew
I utter as my soul does bow
Thank you; YOU deserve all my gratitude
No longer I arise with a past attitude
Today comes with a fresh gift of hours
To do as we please - or upon what's gone before -
LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel, I praise Thee
If judgment in Covid19, I intercede for mercy
Not just for my country and me, but globally
WE deserve judgment, and we ask for mercy
Jesus showed us THY face of grace
Jesus, Yeshua, who died for us and Earth
To RESTORE, He is Redeemer, why He took birth
God reconciling fallen creation, to Himself
You are from everlasting to everlasting, "I AM"
Our elder siblings said it best, YHWH: Yod Hei Vav Hei
The tetragrammaton, so holy they didn't add vowels
And left it unsaid, so we also say "Lord, as in El Shaddai"
ALMIGHTY, the one who is our Mother, under whose wings
I abide. The secret place, Dear Abba-Father: Messiah-Christ!
(c) Shalom, shalom and amen. SHALL OM (ShalAUM)

'Bilaam', Refusing to Reflect
'Vav' Begins Most 'Pasukim',
Bent On Fulfilling His Evil Dream,
A Run On Sentence His Steam.
A Goyim Prophet, His Curse,
Agin' Israel Shifted to Reverse,
"How Goodly Your Tents" in Verse.
We Learn Above All to Pause,
Otherwise Hands Become Paws,
Forsaking Torah Laws Like Straws.
'Steamboat Mary' Words Yearnin',
"Don't Listen to Your Own Wheels Turnin'",
"Those Who Bless... Those Who Don't, Mere Vermin.
Elevate Your Fellow Men,
Or to the Lion's Den Descend,
Bilaam Portends Our Failing, to Pretend.
Arrogance Can Destroy Us,
In Humility, Is Employed 'Zecus',
Bless Life, What Hashem Deploys Thus.
Or Disappear Without a Trace,
We Can Live Up to the Human Race,
Expressing Anger or Grace.
By "Tzelem Elochim", Climb the Tree,
Not Grovel in Bilaam's Debris,
Created by Hashem is Our 'Esprit'!
