was told of this poem and indeed i think that the cross is not just a thing or gadget we use to protect us frm harm like what we always seen on tv nor it is a lucky charm which looks cool and will give us good luck... but the cross serves as a reminder....
THE CROSS IN MY POCKET
I CARRY A CROSS IN MY POCKET
A SIMPLE REMINDER TO ME
OF THE FACT THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN
NO MATTER WHERE I MAY BE.
THIS LITTLE CROSS IS NOT MAGIC
NOR IS IT A GOOD LUCK CHARM
IT ISN’T MEANT TO PROTECT ME
FROM EVERY PHYSICAL HARM.
IT’S NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
IT’S SIMPLY AN UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN MY SAVIOR AND ME.
WHEN I PUT MY HAND IN MY POCKET
TO BRING OUT A COIN OF KEY
THE CROSS IS THERE TO REMIND ME
OF THE PRICE HE PAID FOR ME.
IT REMINDS ME, TOO, TO BE THANKFUL
FOR MY BLESSINGS DAY BY DAY
AND TO STRIVE TO SERVE HIM BETTER
IN ALL THAT I DO AND SAY.
IT’S ALSO A DAILY REMINDER
OF THE PEACE AND COMFORT I SHARE
WITH ALL WHO KNOW MY MASTER
AND TO GIVE THEMSELVES TO HIS CARE.
SO I CARRY A CORSS IN MY POCKET
REMINDING NO ONE BUT ME
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF MY LIFE
IF ONLY I’LL LET HIM BE.
