Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is faith and Jewish identity, in honor of
Passover, which begins on the evening of April 22.
Today’s poem is a Passover poem about how God attends the
Passover Seder.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Palpably, You are in this room,
A presence just as certain as our own,
Singing with us -- family friend, well-known --
Someone, not just something we assume.
One can know You only intimately.
Vast as You are, You fit into our home.
Every tick of life we're not alone,
Rejoicing in a love we feel and see.
