Got a Minute? Let Me Tell You of the One Above

Vaeschanan

If someone loves their chasan, or friend,
They cannot seem, to stop praising them.

A kallah (or friend) might say, "He is such a great guy.
"Do you have a few minutes? I'll tell you why.

"He is funny, with a heart that is authentic and real.
"And a love for the unfortunate, he truly feels.

"He is so calm. He has his anger under control.
"And in his his shul, he takes an active role."

This weeks parsha says, that to the One Above,
We are to have a passionate fiery love.

How to do this? Well for starters, we can speak of His Greatness when we pray.
More than this - similar to the kallah - their are things to others we can say.

Like speaking to to the not yet religious, how His Torah is so true,
And speaking about all the exhilarating mitzvos we do.

Tell him how H-shem's mitzvos, make our lives a sheer joy.
Like a young child, playing with a favorite toy.

Love H-shem by speaking to others, of His delicious fruits and birds.
Whose delightful songs, at dawn can be heard.

I guess to you my reader, I am trying to relate.
Is fulfill the mitzvah of loving H-shem, by conveying to others He is Great.

By doing this, two mitzos, at once you are able to do.
Loving H-shem, and loving a fellow Jew.

So be brave...
Approach that friend at work, when you are by the proverbial water cooler,
Of this Benevolent, Awesome, and Generous Ruler!
