A CROSS ON A HILL by CARL S. WEIST

First Line: AMONG THE FEW THINGS
Last Line: A CROSS ON A HILL.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
"Among the few things
I brought with me
Is a silver cross
From your uniform
Of the First World War...."
The soldier's letter ran on,
But I paused in thought
While tears filled my eyes;
For he was but a lad
When I took the cross
From my faded coat
And gave it to him.

Among the few things--
That is all the world has;
A cross on a Hill.
