This weathered cross, made out of wood,
would tell His story, if it could.
That Simon carried it along,
amidst a cruel and ruthless throng,
to where it held the precious weight
of Jesus, as he met His fate.
Yet in His pain and agony,
He both forgave and set us free
to join Him in a better place,
when we have run our final race.

Betty; Wonderful timely poem, to remind us all! Ellie

Very good job! I think this is one of your best yet, the meter is flawless and it reads just outstandingly.
I'm very impressed.
