After Psalm 25:9, 119:81
He entered the city
on a beast of peace,
not as a conquering hero
but a servant,
a servant who would
suffer.
He entered the city
to sings and rejoicing,
to waving of palms,
to cloaks laid on his path.
The people sang hosanna
to the servant who would
suffer.
He smiled as he rode
his beast of peace.
He smiled to see
rejoicing, to hear
the voices cheering
and singing his way
forward.
He smiled because
he knew their hearts,
the hearts soon to call
for his death. And
he loved them anyway.
He loved them because.
