Have you noticed how most children get excited about the very mention
of a donkey when you're on Holiday?
Donkeys are special.
The Donkey
-
I'm lying here resting now.
Although it's been a busy day.
I walked into the City.
You should here what People say.
-
They lined the Street
As I walked along.
And for once I didn't mind.
Being sat upon.
-
They were talking excitedly.
Jostling and pushing.
Craning their necks,
As if we were rushing.
-
They laid a carpet for us to walk,
Yes, Olive leaves they spread.
Hosanna, Hosanna, they shouted out loud.
It's Jesus, it's Jesus, They said.
-
Well another day done, and I can rest.
But today I'll never forget.
For Jesus the King sat on my back.
It's been the best day yet.
