Shalom Freedman Poems

How many humiliations will I have to go through
Before the End comes?
How many small punctures and pains?
How many pleas for help unanswered?
...

Calm is the sea
And the shore-
...

My Happiness came back to me
When I visited my child and grandchild-
...

THE OLD HAVE TO WORK FOR THEIR HAPPINESS

The Old have to work for their happiness-
It does not come easily
...

Too many of my friends are gone-
Many have died
Others have left this world while in this world-
What joy is there in life when one no longer has friends to talk to?
...

We pray for life
And for forgiveness of sins
For the coming year
...

Ingratitude is a Sin-
God has given me so much
...

Having nothing to do
Is one of the worst things in the world-
Feeling idle and useless
Makes the person sick inside-
...

At a certain time in the morning
The world becomes different
...

Why did God have to rest from Creation
When Creation was the very essence and joy
Of God’s Being?

Or did God need
...
