"It is Enough" Print
This print is being sold to benefit Ukraine.
Poetry:
It is Enough
It is enough that I have awakened to a new day
And that the sun warms my face
It is enough that I can taste another gulp of breath
And that it is delicious
It is enough to feel my chest rising and falling
To know that my heart is thumping in rhythm
It is enough to see the faces of my family
And hear them bantering like downy chicks in the yard
It is enough that our Father in a turquoise heaven adores me
Has memorized my name-Precious
It is enough to rejoice and worship unfettered, completely
In this simple sacred moment
It is enough to understand that all of these things are
Unwarranted gifts, irresistible and magnanimous
Now I realize that I don’t need faraway dreams
Nor audacious plans to sustain my silent soul
Because of this present anguish and bewilderment
Ideas have melted like a mist
Today, in this very moment
I see with perfect lucidity...
It is enough
Being alive-It is more than enough!
