Everyone has their own cross of life

Cleared From Dross

by giovannimariatommaso

The life that he almost lived, was the life
that he could not choose, for the times

Were wrong, though he was strong, no
regrets on the life, that he did live as true.

No blame did he hold; no blame did he sow;
he held firmly to the cross, and while

Authority gasped and lost its grasp his very
death cleared them from dross.
