In tribute to the Jewish New Year:


Someone remembers you this day
you'd rather vanish into the populace
may have been greed or avarice
caused you to act that way...
the presence knows who you are
isn't big brother who taps your line
invades privacy... its more pervasive
universal, encompasses everything alive
cause there is a reason we're here
only you can't find it
he recalls your name
where your likeness inhabits
how your shadow drapes a walk
and whose company you keep
all given chances to live or die
a dreaded day, or one of hope
you can succeed to pass another day
the Almighty remembers you as you pray.

Ah yes, we are watched over and prayers are answered.  And a happy Jewish New Year - it's over 5000 years, though I cannot remember the exact date of this year - an amazing amount of time to have kept track of.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
