The holes in his shirt
were not room enough.... to let out
his endless joy.
To the children out there with less than enough.
To their joy that stays endless joy that stands in the midst of want.
The smiles in the suffering, the laughter in want.
To the children whose joy, sorrow has failed to break.
The holes in their clothes letting in more joy.
