+ 2ND POEMS: A Brief Poem On The Sign Of The Cross

Lord, I love to make the holy sign of the Cross.

It brings a blessing to sustain my spirit;

a bridge for gaps, a compensation for loss;

an answer to each terror---that I need not fear it.

The cross:  sign of my Redeemer and His Holy Church;

and though some earthly circumstances swerve to lurch

around me, so that sometimes I stumble into wrong,

I know in Whom I have believed, and to Whom I belong.
