Purim poem submitted by a real GEM

Achashveirosh killed his rebellious wife,

Esther became the queen,

Mordechai rises in the ranks,

Coincidental? So it seems…

 

Nature, chance and happenstance

All mask G-d’s orchestration,

When we unwrap the gifts He packs

It’s cause for celebration.

 

Enjoy this e-mishloach manos

On this day of masquerades;

May we merit to appreciate G-d’s Hand

And all his wondrous ways!
