1. This little cross
Is made of faith.
It teaches me
Your way.
2. This little cross
Is made of hope.
It helps me
Through each day.
3. This little cross
Is made of love
For everyone
Whose life I touch.
4. This little cross
Is made of prayer,
Because I need you, Lord,
So much.

Is this a new “little cross” poem or the same one? I know you did one a few weeks ago, but I can’t remember the details of it.
A visual and physical reminder of Calvary is a good thing to have, it focusses the spirit on our Anchor that never moves. It guides us Heavenwards in faith giving us hope each day, our hearts filled with petitions of love. In this we have all we need for our journey Home!
It’s a different poem, but the same cross! XXXX
