Someone sent me this on WhatsApp, attributed to "my friend." She doesn't know the author and I imagine it was forwarded a lot before it got to her... Does anyone here know who wrote it? TIA!
Dear Shabbos Bereishis,
It's not your fault
That we still have
Full stomachs
Dirty floors
Wrinkled clothes.
Please don't get offended
That our bones ache
Our heads spin
And some of us
(And our kids)
Are kooky.
You deserve the very best
At least the same
As a regular shabbos
In shvat
Filled with
Anticipation
Relaxation
And preparation
(We do have lots of shabbos party!)
And so we ask
For your understanding
If we seem a bit
Toasted. (My husband's word)
We hope you can
Help us
Revive
Refresh
Remember
That you are not a
Leftover shabbos
The tail end of
All the celebrations.
You are
The beginning
Of a world
Created special
Just for us.
And so
We will try
To make our
Shabbos
A little more special
Just for you.
(My friend wrote this)

These things get forwarded too many times to find the origin. It could have come from across th globe.

When someone writes a poem like this, the bottom should have written by... as it’s going to get forwarded and it’s nice to give credit where it’s due

I agree with all of you! It's a great poem. And it could have come from anywhere. And the name should have been there to start with, but it wasn't. So... Bump? Maybe someone here knows...

I’m pretty sure I saw this in one of the magazines on shabbos bereishis. Or maybe it was on a WhatsApp status? I read it right after shabbos and thought-how true…
