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
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!
ReplyDeleteAnon-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.
