He Walked Alone
©2009 Susan Noyes Anderson
Jerusalem, He entered like a King.
with shouts of acclamation, fronds of palm.
But these gave way to fear, and none were with Him.
To His stripes, loving hands applied no balm.

Just for a change I’d like to make
a change this very day–
I’d like to do the things that all
those mothering books say.
