The sun rises high each morning, bringing a day so bright and new,
Each a
special beginning, filled with the promise of all we can do.
The moments pass
so quickly, each one as precious as a gem,
Once gone they cannot be
retrieved, oh how we must cherish them.
The blessing of the month of Elul heralds this years final
days,
The blowing of the shofar awakens us to contemplate our
ways.
Have we accomplished all we can, have we done all that we
should?
Have we treated others respectfully; were we kind and good?
We know that our Father comes down to us, He waits so full of grace,
He
shows us all how much He cares and loves this Jewish race.
It is time to go
to greet Him, display the devotion in our hearts,
Ask Him to forgive and
guide us, before the New Year comes and starts.
Our Father loves His children, no matter how foolish we may be,
We ask
Hashem to bless us with bountiful goodness, thru eternity.
The days turn into
weeks so quickly, the months turn into years,
We pray our lives will be
filled with joy and very few sad tears.
So welcome this auspicious time, while the King is here below,
Use these
moments wisely, choose the righteous path to go.
And when the shofar
sounds on Yom Kippur, soon to come,
Know that a new and wonderful
year is written for everyone.
