Dear G-d, as you pick up your quill to begin the next best seller
Expectations are high because from experience, you’re a heck of a storyteller
Last years was a masterpiece, a page-turner with an unexpected hook
You are a literary genius, hence you’ve been commissioned to write the Life Book
May I make some suggestions...if that isn’t too bold
Although, you surely don’t need any, the Bible is still the #1 book sold
Add some eloquent dialogue, maybe a poem here to there
Borrow from Shakespeare, iambic pentameter to add a flare
Historical fiction is fun, but a touch of biography will make it all come true
Enter in Massiah to thicken the plot and add it to the sci-fi genre too
Flowery adjectives, magic realism, with a hitchcockian twist
Insert a love story featuring a romantic sunset where someone gets kissed
A strategic absence of words, Hemmingway’s silences say it best
Comedic Irony and humor work well, truth resonates when said ingest
Polemic rhetoric, mystical teaching, and philosophical complexes replete
Throw in a villain too, as long as you script in the defeat
May the writers block be locked away and the words just flow
If you need better lighting, some tea, or a proofreader, let me know
Would you like to use my labtop? It has Microsoft word and html
Use my mac for its audio applications, or are you more comfortable with a Dell?
Change the font, add italics, and increase the margins as you please
Remember to hit the save document button, the most important of the keys
Although I like mad libs, I pray you write with the utmost intention
Fill up every page and end it happily ever after...the ultimate redemption.

Sounds to me that while you are content to let G-d write, you want to "edit"! Don't we all want the power to make sure the story turns out to our own lights!!
And yet we need to remember that it is the WRITER's story!!!
Let's hope this is the year that discover the brilliant resolution to this cliffhanger called life, and feel the wonder that comes when we encounter the perfect ending!
As you can tell, I am already registered at blogspot under a different identity!!
That's OK-- I'm happy to be your surrogate Mommy too!
Have an easy fast and keep reaping the treasures of Tishrei!
Chana
