I Have Been Given So Much By G-D Poem by Shalom Freedman

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH BY G-D

I have been given so much by G-d
I often forget to feel Thank You
I am thinking of the adventure of mind
I have been given a lifetime to do in writing
I did not profit from it or gain fame and recognition
But the life itself was so rich so interesting
I loved so much the doing of it-

The family also and perhaps first of all
There is too much to say
So many friends and good people I have known
Israel of course and my years here
The early life in America also
So much-

I have had so many blessings in my life
I shouldn't cry or moan or complain
About all I was not given-

No one is given everything
And I was given so much
Thank G-d Thank G-d Thank G-d
For as long as I can
And for how good it has been
Thank G-d.
