Purim and Our “Lots” of Love

Purim 2019

I think of the word “Purim”

And “lots” as its meaning

I take a dive inward

And embark on soul searching

What comes to mind

Is what we all know

That we would all take back our pekalach

No matter how they did grow

It seems so absurd

Hard to fathom, perhaps

That we would stretch out our hands

To grab our lives mishaps

But that’s when we ought

To remember and recall

That the pekalach we received

Are from the Father of us ALL

What is my “lot”

In the life I live

At times I need to take

And at other times I give

My “lot” involves sunshine

And pockets of rain

From which I can blossom

Prosper and gain

The pekalah I was “allotted”

May seem burdensome and rough

But I know and believe

That that’s what makes me tough!

I may have been given

Some challenges I hate

But those difficulties

Are what determines my good fate

Then of course my “lot”

Involves a multitude of blessing

That at time are blocked

By layers of murky dressing

Despite the pain

And even because of it, if I may

That’s what enables me

To reach greater heights each day

There are moments

When I wish to cast my “lot” aside

But that would be foolish

Because my “lot” becomes my pride

My “lot” is my gift

My cherished journey of life

Although it may encompass

Hurt, sadness and strife

But when I keep my mind

And soul connected to my Father

I no longer look at my “lot”

As if it’s a bother

Rather, it’s empowering

To trust that my “lot” from Hashem

Enables me to become

The creme a la creme

I and we are oh so blessed

And we must hold on to our spark

Keeping ourselves aligned with our Father

Even when things seem dark

Darkness is an absence

Of feelings of love

That sometimes we lose sight of

And forget our Father Above

He is there with us always

And He handed us our “lots”

On diamond studded platters

Ready for the twists and plots

The “lots” we were all given

Are handpicked for me and you

Don’t you even think

That you can be me and I can be you

There is no randomness

About the “lots” we possess

But we must always strive

To achieve our very best

So, for Purim this year

Let us live by its definition

And propel our lives forward

And fulfill all our lives’ missions

May I as an individual

And us a whole

Accept our “lots” with love

And succeed with our goals
