Poem: Crosses to Bear


 Crosses to Bear

People have crosses to bear,

Weighty,
Unwieldy,
Onerous,
 Crosses,

Crushing spirits,
Squashing dreams,
Dashing hopes,

Crosses,

Invisible burdens,
So hard to share

Except through prayer,
An outreached hand,
A listening ear,
A hug, a tear,
Thoughts sincere,

Crosses
Are there,

Look closely
At others
And care,

Then share
The crosses
They quietly bear.
