My Cross

Walking into the jewellery store,
My eyes are drawn to a glass case.
Inside, a magnificent silver cross.
“That’s the one, that’s the one”!
I felt a special connection,
As if I desperately needed that silver cross.
Walking out of the jewellery store,
I felt safe and protected.
I’ll never feel unsafe or frightened
Because I’ll always have the spirit of god,
My silver cross, strung upon my chest.
