She'asah Li Kol Tzorki

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם. שֶׁעָשה לִּי כָּל צָרְכִּי

Blessed are you G-d, King of the universe, who has provided me with every need

All of our needs, Hashem does provide,
How much we will earn, Hashem does decide,
Even our shoes and laces that are tied,
Are from Hashem, so that we can work outside.

Not only does Hashem provide us with direction,
He gives us shoes for our protection,
All of our needs come from Hashem alone,
Here is a story that is well known.

Moshe the innkeeper served his customers day and night,
He was a G-d fearing Jew who knew wrong from right,
One day his landlord came in for a drink,
"How is business going?" he asked with a wink.

"Baruch Hashem, thank G-d," Moshe did say,
"Hashem provides for me everyday,"
"How can you thank G-d, who you can't see?
The one who provides for you is me!"

On the landlord's face there was a big frown,
He was so mad that he closed the inn down,
Moshe didn't worry at all,
He knew that Hashem would hear his call.

Meanwhile the landlord was told,
To check his coins of gold,
After he was sure that his coins weren't fake,
His favorite monkey swallowed the coins by mistake.

The landlord was as puzzled as could be,
When he found his dead monkey,
He decided to have some fun,
He threw it into the bedroom of Moshe's son,

Moshe's children scream with fear,
But suddenly gold coins did appear,
Moshe shook the dead monkey well,
To the ground, all the coins fell.

At last, Moshe had money to buy everything,
At the Pesach Seder he felt like a king,
That night, the landlord decided to take a ride,
To see if for Moshe, Hashem did provide.

When he peeked into the window he was as shocked as could be,
He saw Moshe celebrating Pesach with his happy family,
Hashem is the one who provides he had to admit,
To reopen the inn, of course the landlord did permit!

The lesson is that from the start,
We should trust in Hashem with all our heart,
We just need to try our best,
And let Hashem take care of the rest!
