Some Days It Seems Too Hard

Some days it seems too hard to

Turn on the news,

Read the texts,

Answer the phone.

What news,

What pain,

What disaster

Awaits us today?

How much more

For the Holy One.

The one who stands,

Sits,

Weeps

With the world.

May I,

In my little life,

Also, sometimes,

Stand,

Sit,

Weep,

Pray

With those who suffer.

Just

For a little while.
