The Illuminated Cross – Memories Through the Eyes of my City

See, that illuminated cross

aloft Mont-Royal, how it glows

a beacon of hope, a symbol of faith

rising up in the night sky, steadfast and brave

its arms outstretched, embracing all

who seek solace and comfort, who answer the call

to climb the mountain, to feel its grace

to bask in the glow of that holy place

and as I stand here, in awe and wonder

gazing up at that cross, so bright and pure

I feel a sense of peace, a sense of calm

knowing that love and hope will always carry on

so let us take heart, let us believe

that even in darkness, we can always perceive

the light of that cross, shining so bright

guiding us on, through the darkest of nights.
