Shalom Freedman Poems

I heard the again the poetry come to me
The silence time had been difficult
But it has come again now
And meanings I do not myself understand
...

All this sadness
All these deaths
Time has no mercy
My generation is passing from the world
...

I miss my mother
Its so long ago
But I miss her still
Her kindness
...

I have peace of mind today
Dad
Something you always looked for
And never really found-
...

AND WHILE HEARING BOTH VOICES

Into the endless sadness of who I am
I struggle to live another day
...

HUMILITY

There are worlds I have never seen
And worlds I have never known
...

The morning tells me again
How beautiful the world can be-
Life is joy
When one only has to look and see
...

LIFE IS NOT EASY

Life is not easy
However long and blessed
...

Who can say
What will be?
I only pray
G-d will not yet
...

I do what I can
To be what I am
But what I am
Is not good enough
...
