The Tiara

There are many vices That have disgraced the tiara, And many crimes That secured its plethora. Man has conveniently forgotten What took place in the past. Doesn’t the world know— All this pomp will not last? Three and one half years Have been appointed for its reign, Then our precious Lord Will come back again. To save His children Who have not bowed down To the tiara of man Or any other crown. Most of the world doesn’t acknowledge The Savior as King, But honors man instead With the pride such honor brings. Why is man so short-sighted To see only what is tangible. Christ didn’t wear a tiara But simple garb was his apparel. To show the world His Father’s glory No wealth was required. Christ’s love towards the people Was the Tiara they aspired. Copyright © Maureen LeFanue 2007-2010
