Let Us Be Stubborn
A Poem by Kaira Low
Look, there’s an opening in the brick wall!
Our knuckles bruise against the bricks
until they come tumbling down
A steadfast stubbornness in the Spirit will do it;
Breakthrough will happen
Look at the trickling of light grow into a stream!
Look at the light pour forth from the crack in the wall!
Let us stand up, raise our voice, and proclaim,
The Light is here
Like Peter and John, let us be stubborn
For we can’t keep quiet about what we have seen and heard
The Light is here
Let us make way.
