Crown of Thorns <br /> <br />Acacia, crown of desert thorn. <br />No priceless pearls or Gold <br />Upon Christ’s head was borne, <br />To Calvary's cross I’m told. <br /> <br />Void of gems in shades of Tourmaline <br />Only blood crimson crown of red. <br />Twas not the richest crown ere seen, <br />But hideous thorns instead <br /> <br />Those thorns of sin stand in our place, <br />Representing thee and me <br />For ere Adam fell from Godly Grace <br />No thorns grew on that tree. <br /> <br />Alf Hutchison <br />Good Friday 2009<br /><br />Alf Hutchison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crown-of-thorns-2/
