Poem Artwork

Once upon a cross, my chains were broken

Shame and reproach were rolled away from me

Condemnation was replaced by grace

Once upon a cross, my tears were wiped away

Darkness was turned to light

Riches replaced poverty

Once upon a cross, dominion was given to me

Inferiority was swallowed

My iniquities and sins were washed away 

Once upon a cross, I became a princess

A great shining star, daughter of the greatest of kings

I once lost all my royal glory but once upon a cross,

I got it all back

Once upon a cross, I was and I am destined for greatness

Once upon a cross, failure and darkness were rolled away

Rolled into a place of no return.

I don't usually post comments on religious poetry. But the spirit of hope shown in this one is very strong and in a very positive direction. Let us hope that it is self-determined rather than externally determined by some "other" force.

+ Once upon a cross, failure and darkness were rolled away

+ Once upon a cross, failure and darkness were rolled away

+ Once upon a cross, failure and darkness were rolled away

This line deserves to be repeated and we should praise the Lord for

the fact that failure and darkness were truly rolled away.

A wonderful morning prayer! Thank you for making this day special Mary!

Much love and Blessings to you in everything that you do,

John Michael
