You Carried It Janet Kuypers 06/10/11 the priest said before you were interred “you shared the cross of the lord” the lord carried that cross in his walk before his mortal death and you carried that cross for years as that cross became heavier and heavier you could no longer lift that cross with your arms but still, you carried it you never forsook the ones who gave you this death sentence and still, you carried it you never spoke to me of the pain you never spoke to me of the injustice and silently, you carried it for months, you could no longer even speak of the cross your bore and still, you carried it you spoke only light-heartedly you brought out true love from everyone around you and how you made people love, how you made people good only now reminds me that with you, like our teacher, like out friend that I can only continue to pray that the world will be a better place because you were a part of it Copyright © 2011 Janet Kuypers.
