Laughter Came From Every Brick

Just these two words God spoke
changed by life,

 “Enjoy Me.”

 What a burden I thought I was to carry—
a crucifix, as did He.

 Love once said to me “I know a song,
would you like to hear it?”

And laughter came from every brick in the street
and from every pore
in the sky.

After a night of prayer, God
changed my life when
God sang, 

“Enjoy Me.”

- St. Theresa of Avila
