YOUR CROSS.

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

SEEK not to drop the cross you wear, Or lay it down; for if you do, Another shall be built for you More difficult and hard to bear.
The cross is always made to fit The back which bears it. Be content; Accept the burden which was sent, And strive to make the best of it.
Think not how heavy is your load; Think not how rough the road, or long; Look up, and say: “Lord, I am strong, And love makes beautiful the road.”
Who toils in faith, and knows not fear, Shall live to find his cross some day Supported all along the way By angels who are walking near.
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
