Davening Poem

Dear Brothers and Sisters,



Davening is not a chore


Davening opens up every door


Davening is not relegated to a certain kind


Davening is simply speaking your mind


Talk to Hashem; He is waiting to hear


Because, to Hashem, YOU are very dear


There is nobody else in the universe but you


And your very own HaKadosh Baruch Hu


Yes, the Yetzer Hara will try to distract


But you must do whatever you can to stay intact


A broken heart, troubles, dismays or a fall


No matter, Your Father is there to answer your call


NEVER despair; no matter how problem ridden


Hashem is SO CLOSE even though He seems hidden


Stand strong. Stand proud. Stand tall


You are a a member of the best nation of all


Find the beauty in yiddishkeit, it's there for every Jew


No matter what happened in the past, you can always start anew


Things may sometimes seem cold, impossible and black


But soon, real soon, your tefillos will bring the good times back


Hashem is collecting each and every tear


And every tefillah that is sincere


Sincerely,

Your Brother

  1. I just wanted to let you know that I had just spoken to a friend telling her how after almost a year of not davening, I am slowly starting to daven again. Your blog happens to be saved as a favorite and I accidentally clicked on the link..... low and behold I see the words "Davening Poem!" "The words NEVER despair; no matter how problem ridden... and ....No matter what happened in the past, you can always start anew" really spoke to me!! Thank you for posting it, it was a message I REALLY needed to here and the timing couldn't be more perfect!

  2. Anon-thanks so much! I'm so happy you liked it. Although I didn't write it myself, this poem has so much truth to it, I had to post it.

    It wasn't an accident that you clicked on the link to this blog - Hashem wanted you to feel encouraged that you can always start anew and talk to Him!!

    Please come back again for more inspiration and pass the link on to your friends!
