Bearing the Cross

I fought

night and day

to win over misery,

which destiny had

kept for me.

But I won,

despite the great loss,

as I grew strong while bearing the cross.

    This is truly beautiful. I might have to use this and share it on my next series, Comfort or The Cross…

    I grew strong while bearing the cross, that line says so much. There’s a quiet strength in it. Not denying the pain… just carrying it and becoming stronger because of it.
