but for sorrow
Today’s poem from Education for Justice is by Rob Suarez.
but for sorrow
I might never have asked
what could be
but for sorrow.
I might never have opened
to the terrible
vulnerability of love
but for tears.
I might never have begun
this treacherous path to
God
but for emptiness.Source: “but for sorrow” by Rob Suarez from America Magazine, Vol. 184 No.
