You know the story about the man who carried a heavy cross? It goes something like this: There once was a man who carried a heavy cross. He carried this cross for days, weeks, months, years, until one day he…

I’ve never been much of a poet but sometimes the urge will hit me, and I’m compelled to act—or in this case write. I don’t remember exactly when I first drafted this poem, but it was somewhere in the vicinity…
