Letter to Hashem

A Letter to Hashem
Sara Willig

Hashem, I sit with thoughts unspoken,
A heart that feels both whole and broken.
I reach for You in times of need,
But wonder why You plant this seed.

This life You’ve shaped with joy and pain,
With skies of sun and clouds of rain.
I trust there’s s meaning, though it’s unclear,
Why paths so often bring me here.

I see Your hand in nature’s song,
In animals, where I belong.
Their quiet whispers heal my soul,
In their embrace, I feel whole.

Yet sometimes, You feel far away,
A presence blurred, a shadowed sway.
I long to know You as my guide,
But wrestle with the tears I hide.

They say my anger speaks I care,
A sign You are not just empty air.
And though I struggle, still I yearn,
To feel Your light, to see and learn.

Do You hear me when I cry?
Do You catch my questions why?
I want to trust, to let You in,
To find the balance deep within.

Hashem, I’m trying to hold on tight,
To seek You out in dark and light.
Please guide me gently, help me see,
The person You’ve designed me to be.

With every breath, I hope to grow,
To find the peace I long to know.
Through every trial, joy, and tear,
I know, Hashem, You’re always near.
