Brief the glory and the praise,
some had jealousy and hate –
plotting in the coming days,
opportunity await.

He knew the agony drew near –
bruised, buried seed, raised to release
a lasting glory, harvest dear –
world-wide a people finding peace.

Though many scorned him in despite
of all they’d seen, and all they’d heard,
disliking what was good and right –
soon, some would joy in grace outpoured.

And so, he faced the awful pain,
the hinge of history, to bring
this good, and glory would remain   –
eternal honour to the King.

Brings home what he faced in his last days. Cleverly thought out and rhymed. I thought this was a really good poem Rh.

So sorry I missed this yesterday, Rhiannon, with it being Palm Sunday. Such a meangiful poem that one can relate to. even in these modern times of ours.

Thank you, Tina, I'm glad you could relate to it. I didn't post it very early as it developed during the day, partly from the message we had in the morning service from a passage relating to Palm Sunday. Rhiannon
