A CRI DE COEUR
Does everyone have one:
at least one cri de coeur?
I tried to tell you what I was feeling
but you would not listen.
Maybe you were also crying.
Daddy wouldn’t ….
Mommy was always
somewhere else
as she sat there while he yelled.
I wanted peace in the family,
but nobody else said anything.
I could have been a poster child
for “The Scream!”

Incredibly touching poem. You speak for many, I think, especially during this lockdown time....
Thank you Fr. Andy for your gift of communication.
We miss you!
