J.M.J.
A GOD GIVEN GIFT
WHEN YOUR DAYS ARE FILLED WITH PAIN AND WITH SORROW
AND YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU WILL FACE TOMORROW,
REMEMBER THAT YOUR CROSS MY SON ALSO DOES BEAR;
AND AS YOUR TEARS FALL, EACH ONE HE DOES SHARE.
EACH TIME THAT TO YOU AN UNKIND WORD WAS SPOKEN,
NOT ONLY YOUR HEART BUT HIS ALSO WAS BROKEN.
EACH TIME THAT YOU WERE PIERCED WITH A THORN,
IT WAS JUST ONE MORE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE CROWN HE HAD WORN.
YOU ASK IF YOUR TRIALS WILL GO ON MUCH LONGER;
DWELL NOT ON THE TIME FOR EACH CROSS MAKES YOU STRONGER.
EVEN THOUGH EACH CROSS THAT YOU CARRY IS A GOD GIVEN GIFT,
MY SON WILL HELP YOU CARRY THOSE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
