Saturday Entry

"Gina," said a voice to me
Get strong; I have a gift.
It is the cross that keeps you free
so that your burdens lift.

And Jesus came to comfort me
that First Communion day
and gave a sliver of his tree
ever with me to stay.

I laid my head upon His heart
To rest a little space.
"Gina" he said, "I send you home.
Your parents need this grace."

And in a heartbeat I felt strong,
my legs, my arms, my head
no longer hurt so terribly.
He raised me from my bed.
