The Cross

The Cross

One shape composed of two parts
One shape that matters most
One shape that signifies death
One shape that signifies salvation

One part a vertical piece of timber
One part horizontal
One body was placed upon it
One death for all of mankind

' One death for all of mankind. ' So true. I like the way you emphasize on the word *One*. Your thoughts are beautiful and uplifting, all at the same time. My best to you, Oliver. Hugs, Brandy
