In this sonnet, titled “From the Disciples’ Perspective of the Triumphal Entry, We Watched Him Ride in Grace”, the disciples recount fetching the colt at Jesus’ command and walking with him as he enters Jerusalem. They see the crowd lay palms and cloaks, shouting “Hosanna, Son of David,” while his teachings of love and the Kingdom resonate in their minds. As his faithful band, they hope for a kingdom they cannot yet fully see, trusting his words. They know his peace—a calm through storm and strife—and follow him as Lord amid the throng’s praise, their devotion lit by his grace, standing in awe as his reign begins to unfold before them.

We fetched the colt, his quiet word our call,
And led him forth where palms in reverence lay,
The crowd surged round, their cries a mighty squall,
A king they hailed, yet meek in his array.
“Hosanna, Son of David,” shook the air,
His lessons—love, the Kingdom—filled our mind,
His faithful band, a kingdom yet to see,
His peace we knew, a calm through storm and strife,
His voice had sown the truth within our care,
We watched him ride, his mercy giving life,
A Lord to follow through the throng’s loud prayer.
We praised his name, his grace our guiding flame,
A reign unfurled, in awe we stood amazed.
