Poem to God
I love you, God, because you created the universe from nothing.
I love to look at the moon and stars.
I love to wake up to the sunlight on the grass.
Thank you, G-d for letting me wake up every morning to another precious day.
Thank you for allowing me to see the buds on the trees and bushes.
Thank you, G-d for allowing me to hear the birds and the voices of my grand-children and children.
Thank you G-d, for allowing me to smell flowers and delicious food.
Thank you for my taste buds and my voice to tell my family how much I love them.
Thank you for my arms to hug my beloved husband and family.
Thank you for my legs to walk and run with.
Dear God, you gave me a heart so that I can try to comfort the sick and bereaved and love my family and friends.
Thank you, G-d, for all our many blessings which you provide every day.
Thank you, G-d, for listening to me and answering my prayers, – even when the answer is no!
I love you, G-d.
