Palm Sunday poem

Every once and while, the Spirit moves me to write poetry.  Here is an acrostic poem that I wrote for Palm Sunday last week but didn't end up using. 



Blessed is the One: An Acrostic Poem
Based on Mark 10:34 and Mark 11:1-10
H eavenly Father, thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ.
            Hosanna!
O ut of humility, Christ came as a servant, not as a mighty warrior. 
            Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!
S ome wondered, why did he do this?
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
A nd Jesus answered, because I love you.
Hosanna in the highest heaven!
N ow it is time for Him to make the final journey into Jerusalem
Hosanna!
N ow it is time for Jesus to be mocked, spit upon, flogged, and killed
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!
A nd after three days he will rise again
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!

Blessings, Emma.
