the cloth may be different
the black of sorrow
of Friday, of Saturday,
white for the resurrection
of Easter morning
fabric hanging upon the cross
in front of the church
the fabric may be different
but the shadow the same
the choice, the cross,
to follow His example
in humble submission,
to give completely
in the service of God
the light projecting
into the community
sharing the shadow
the continuing mission;
Christ’s example
the cross, the light,
the love of God.
