On Rosh Hashanah

I listen to the ancient prayers
I've heard for all my life - 
Before I was a nana
Or a mother or a wife.

I hear them only once a year
And though I know the tunes 
I haven't felt entrenched
Like I once was in many moons.

Yet still I go to temple 
And I think, as prayers are read,
That I'll always be connected,
Though by just the thinnest thread.
