Wed. March 19, 2008 - Easter Celebration

Hi, Everyone,
Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my web site.
I wrote a poem yesterday. I'm sharing it with you.

"An Easter Celebration"

He rode through the dust on a donkey they say.
His pace was slow, calmly greeting those along the way.

Palms were spread before the One they called "King."
Before the week ended, a new song they would sing.

He arrived at His destination with praise all around.
The excitement spread and the anticipation profoundly felt,
Within a short time, disdain and dissension, soon would be found.

They wanted a King, not a man like their own,
the crown of thorns laid upon Him askew.
Soon they would barter for the clothes he had worn.
For many that day, within their hearts they knew.

As He hung from the cross, life slowly ebbing,
The heavens opened up, destiny served all along,

Since then He reigns as the ultimate King,
Heaven’s doors open, only through Him.

For those who choose, laid down in time,
Life eternal is waiting, destiny is sublime.

What path will you choose?
