Riding In Majesty

Disciples were sent a donkey to find.
“May we take it? We hope you don't mind.”
     Throwing cloaks on it
     Jesus did mount it;
palm branches were spread before and behind.

Both those who followed and others ahead
called out to praise him as onward he sped,
     “Blessed be the one who rides
     with such confident strides,
to restore the kingdom as prophets once said.”

Matthew 21.1-9
