Crux Ansata
The ankh is more than a symbol or cross
It’s a sign of both physical and eternal life
Relocated from the land and death and dross
Men are believed to be living an afterlife
The hieroglyph stands for zeal and strength
To those swimming in sorrow and distress
It could be a source of succor and health
For those sinking in the Nile of sickness
To hold the ankh is to have key to immortality
It breaks open the door of the home below
And give access to the Eden of eternity
Ushering the bearer into a new life of glee and glow
The crux ansata is a cross with a holy handle
The keeps you bones and blood blessed
All through life… after life, even from cradle
It saves you eternally, even if your mind is messed.
