Kol Nidre
44
I stand here before you
Humble
In awe
In reflection
Today is the day I feel closest to you
I ask that you write my name in the holiest of books for another year
The precious book of life
In reflection I ponder the deepest of thoughts
Knowing I should feel close to you all during all the times of the year
It is wrong to say that I do
It must be said
When my prayers are spoken on all other days
Do you hear them?
So many others have much greater needs
There is war
Famine
Flood
And fear
You offer comfort to those with greatest of needs
Do you hear my prayers when I am lost?
For I too need to feel your comfort
At last the shofar is sounded
The book is closed
It has been written
You have heard my prayers
