Hanoten Lasechvi Bina


בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם. הַנותן לַשּכְוִי בִינָה לְהַבְחִין בֵּין יום וּבֵין לָיְלָה: 
Blessed are you God our Lord, King of the universe,
Who grants the rooster the  understanding to distinguish between day and night.

Hashem gave the rooster a gift,
To sense when the darkness will lift.

Right before dawn it begins to crow,
To distinguish between night and day it does know.

What lesson can I take, if I don't live on a farm,
And don't have roosters as my alarm?

In life there are many decisions to make,
Sometimes we don't know which path to take.

Just like the rooster can distinguish between day and night,
Hashem gives us the power to know wrong from right.

In this blessing, we thank Hashem for giving us a brain to use,
The right decision we can choose!
