My 'Friday Poem' selection for the week -- "Our Pocket Opens":
Our burdens are our rocks,
and rocks come in different sizes
just as our burdens do.
When we carry a rock
around all day, we try
to put it in our pocket.
Our hearts have pockets
for our rocks, our burdens.
The bigger the burden
the bigger the pocket
in our heart.
Every time we tell someone
our burden, our pocket opens.
-- Gynnae Hochstetler
