The Cross | A Poem by Roan McLean

by | May 7, 2013 | Our Family

Recently, Roan was asked to write a poem for her literature class. My children attend a private Catholic school. We are so very happy with their education and the ability to prasie God every day. At any rate, I loved her poem, and I wanted to share it here for all to read. Blessings to all! xo

 

The Cross

by Roan McLean


The cross upon my wall

Makes me feel grateful

For my loving family down the hall

And food beyond a plateful

 

The cross around my wrist

Makes me feel blessed

For if Christ did not exist

Sin would never rest

 

The cross inside my church

Makes me feel strong

I need not to search

For here is where I belong

Hey! Welcome Friend.

My name is  Candice, and I am a passionate advocate for sustainable living and the art of creating a beautiful and intentional home. With a keen eye for hidden treasures, I scour thrift stores and markets, breathing new life into forgotten pieces and transforming my living space with unique finds. From repurposed furniture to vintage decor accents, I believe that every item has a story to tell. You can shop my home and my vintage finds in my Etsy store. Alongside my love for art, thrifting and decorating, I’m equally enthusiastic about making delicious home-cooked meals bringing friends and family together around the table. In my downtime, I enjoy exploring, hiking, reading, learning and sipping lattes. Join me as I navigate an intentional life filled with creating and collecting art, thrifting, decorating and entertaining.
