The Hardest Thing

the hardest thing
I’ve ever had to do
was to share the Love I have for you
shared with the very heart
of music poetry and art
sensual consensual
hurry up Love - the rent is due
should I dance
should I sing
should I pack up all my things
should I believe her
is she lying to me
how can it be
I carved our Love into my favorite tree
and know I don’t know what to believe
Adonai, what wrong has been done
what did she do
why would she
this isn’t the kinda thing
she could hide from me
as I held her close
beneath my boyhood tree
is it now but a whipping post for me
Adonai Adonai
please help me believe
please help me see how it can be
how can I trust her
Adonai I still Love her
I fear she loves another
this I know - I’m not that child’s father
how can I be
and if he be not of me
Adonai - of who be he besides she…

V'ahavta eit Adonai Elohekha.
b'khol l'vavkha uv'khol nafsh'kha.
uv'khol m'odekha

And you shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your might
