Queen Esther

(Esther 5: 2) The King Held Out To Esther The Golden Scepter That Was In His Hand She Was His Queen The Woman Who Fulfilled His Dreams One of The Most Beautiful In All His Lands But It Was Persian Law For All That Those The King Did Not Call Would Be Struck Down Where They Stand! Yet Brave & Beautiful Queen Esther Whose Godly Faith Never Left Her To Save Her People, Entered As Planned Because There Was A Plot Devised In Anger So Hot ... By That Prideful, Wicked Prince Haman To Kill All Esther's People Haman Schemed So Evil But The King Didn't Know Why It Began ... Or That Esther Was A Jew In The Line of Hebrews Who Worship The One GOD So Grand But There Was No Hesitation In Ahasuerus' Heart Designation Towards This Woman Who Stood Royal & Serene She Held Ahasuerus' Affection and Did Not Suffer Rejection As She Humbly Walked In, As His Queen I Imagine All Got Quiet Waiting For Swords To Riot And See Esther's Head Roll Across The Floor But At The Sight of Her Dignity The Scepter Pointed Implicitly To Grant Esther Whatever She Implored And Oh, The Interplay of Emotions That Day Between This Woman & Her Loving Man When The King Held Out To Esther His Golden Scepter ... That Was In The Power of His Hand * * * * * * * * * * * * (Part 2) Oh, And That Wicked Haman Was Hanged And His Family Shared The Blame But Esther's People Were Saved From Judah To Benjamin, To Dan ( Walk-On Hadassah - Walk-On ! ) Written & Copyrighted ©: 9/15/2013 by: MoonBee Canady I have always loved the story of Queen Esther ... This is a love story that has it all - - a lovely-hearted, modest girl, (replacing a vain and arrogant queen) ... then getting royally pampered, massaged in expensive, perfumed oils, lots of clothes and jewels, winning a beauty pageant, finding true love, conflict and suspense and lastly the heroine saves the day (and oh, did I mention that she was an orphan?) ... 'Com' on Movie-Makers - we could enjoy a lot more of this ... MoonBee
