The Cross | A Poem by Roan McLean

Recently, Roan was asked to write a poem for her literature class. My children attend a private Catholic school. We are so very happy with their education and the ability to prasie God every day. At any rate, I loved her poem, and I wanted to share it here for all to read. Blessings to all! xo

 

The Cross

by Roan McLean

The cross upon my wall

Makes me feel grateful

For my loving family down the hall

And food beyond a plateful

 

The cross around my wrist

Makes me feel blessed

For if Christ did not exist

Sin would never rest

 

The cross inside my church

Makes me feel strong

I need not to search

For here is where I belong
