Thank you so much MP and Goq, I just miss them so much and knowing it will pass sometimes makes me miss them more!
I was afraid that that poem may have made me look like I was upset that Hashem took her so I wrote something else too. (Not like me to post poems so I’m pretending I don’t know any of you!)
People search high and low, looking around corners and above their heads.
Always searching someplace else.
For what they look for is a vision of a treasure, a hotel stay, a cruise in a ship.
But that is not what real love is all about.
That is not the ways of Hashem or the path of the Jew.
Hashem loves us and we can feel His warmth wherever we go if we know it is there.
Look near, not far. Look inside and under. Hashem is close and holding you so your heart will beat and your lungs will expand.
Love is not comfort, love is not pleasure, love is security and growth and knowing that you are never alone.
Knowing your life has been hand picked and orchestrated for you.
And the more you look, the clearer it becomes.
Because no matter how far you walk or how low you sink, you never leave the palms of His hands.
