Life of a Believer

two years ago today I wrote this poem:


Life of a Believer

October 12, 2007

Malka Gittel


A beautiful picture for a beautiful person,

Colors fade to fall,

A majestic flower for a majestic G-d,

Enter in the call,

A powerful sermon for a powerful people,

Governed to give love,

A created worship for a created heaven,

Remembering the dove,

A commanding death for a commanded lie,

Hold fast you chosen,

A passionate life for a passionate son,

For you who are broken,

A driven word for a driven you,

The real touch of hope,

A righteous knee bent for a righteous throne,

After a new birth,

A fallen humanity for a fallen home,

Choose wisely and rejoice freely,

Without hesitation, sing and dance,


“Trust steadily, hope unswervingly, and love extravagantly.”
