Modeh Ani

מודֶה אֲנִי לְפָנֶיךָ מֶלֶךְ חַי וְקַיָּם. שֶׁהֶחֱזַרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי בְּחֶמְלָה. רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ

I offer thanks to You, living and eternal King, 

for You have mercifully restored my soul within me; Your faithfulness is great.

A scuba diver likes to explore,
The fish and plants on the ocean floor,
He can swim for a mile,
But he has to come back up after a while.

His oxygen tank he needs to refill,
So that his mission he can fulfill,
We are like scuba divers who explore,
Bringing G-dliness into this world more and more.

We learn Torah and do Mitzvot galore,
Our Neshama soul is our oxygen tank for sure,
When we go to sleep at night,
Part of our Neshama takes flight.

It goes up to Hashem's throne,
To get recharged like a cell phone,
In the morning Modeh Ani is the first thing we say,
To thank Hashem for returning our Neshama every day.
