Prayer for Yom Kippur


Prayer for Yom Kippur




How fragile is life,

How fleeting our days.

From dust we are born to praise You.

When life slips away to dust we will go.

How fragile is life and we praise You.

Like a clay pot when it breaks,

Like a blade of grass withers,

Like a flower fading fast,

A shadow flitting past.

Like a cloud we disappear,

Like the wind we sigh,

Like dust we’re blown to distant shores,

Like dreams we are no more.
