his coin of opportunity
to make more money
when he thinks of Jesus' show
For this dawn
will bring something new
more than the promise
of commerce
It brings with it
something more than
financial gain--it is
the promise of a Messiah
As Jesus approaches
the crowd swells
Waves of hope
rise and gather in momentum
The tides of crowd
crashes on each other
squeezes the smallish out
such as dwarf zacchaeus
Short in height
but rich in ideas
he makes a quick dash
for a sycamore tree
He longs to glimpse
the renown teacher
the Son of David
the promised Saviour
He reaches the top
as the chief tax collector
Now on top of the tree
will the tax collectors' Friend see?
He is dazed
by the sight of children
huddles of men, women and
holy men
Is Jesus too busy
to notice him?
but He psaw
Nathanael from afar
Suddenly Jesus stops
and gazes at him
a brand new dawn
shines on the despised man
He feels a warm light
coursing through the veins
of his dark soul, when Jesus
invites, " Come down Zacchaeus!"
