Pondering the Palms

I took the poem, The Palms, written in 2009 from Orlando Regional Medical Center, as I pondered the palms surrounding the hospital, and re-adapted it to today's Palm Sunday.
It was told as if two were journeying the day after the actual triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem upon the donkey, with the fronds being laid upon his path.
We are continuing upon that path today.
May you have a day of lifting your palm in praise.

Down the way we came
weary in our journey
we had to stop and rest
unable to continue on
beneath stars of night
by embers we laid
where the path led
trying not to think ahead
beneath the palms
our pathway strewn
with broken fronds
upon journey end
then we learned
upon our path
the Lord had come
we took a trampled frond
and held it high
Hosannah in the highest
To you we lift our cry!
