The Legend of the Donkey's Cross

"Bring me the colt of a donkey.” was the
Master’s request.

A young donkey was brought to Jesus to carry
him to Jerusalem.  A week later Jesus was
ordered to be crucified.

The little donkey so loved the Lord,
that he wanted to help carry the cross.
But alas, he was pushed away.
The sad little donkey waited to say good-bye
until nearly all had left. As he turned to leave,
the shadow of the cross fell upon his shoulders.

And there is has remained,
a tribute to the loyalty and love
of the humblest of God’s Creatures.
