ENOUGH

A POEM BY ALINA KALLARACKAL

When you are sad,
and your heart is heavy,
your soul lifeless,
you have no strength,
no hope.

Fall on your knees,
lower your head,
lift up your arms,
and cry
like you have never before.

Somewhere between a hallelujah
and an amen,
Our Father and Holy Mary,
will catch you as you fall,
as you fall raising praises.

My dearest brothers,
my sweetest sisters,

you must let yourselves feel
that overflowing love.

The arms that will hold
and rock your worries away,
the hands that will wipe
your tears and kiss your wounds.

That is surely more than enough
to keep our voices singing,
our bodies dancing,
and ourselves to always be His.
