In The Light Of The Cross Poem by Mary Ryan

No matter our pain
No matter our loss
Let us always see it
In the light of the cross
Sometimes it seems
God's so far away
But He's always as close
As the prayers we say
The cros is the ultimate expression
Of God's faithful love
Even when He seems sofar
Up in Heaven above
But I know He is with me
Each and everyday
Always as close
As the prayers I say
So whatever may happen
Be it big or be small
May I always see in the light of the cross
Where Christ gave His all
May the troubles of my life
Be small when I see
MY Heavenly Father
Reaching out to me
