#AtoZChallenge: Letter X

I posted the poem below for the Letter Q (Queen Esther), but re-posting for the Letter X (King Xerxes)! So, if you missed the previous post a couple of weeks ago, now's your chance to catch it again. Isn't repurposing a trend? #AtoZChallenge

Esther
 
King Xerxes loved Queen Vashti,
But she defied the King’s command;
Her banishment made the way
For saving Jews across the land.
 
King Xerxes sought another
To wear the Persian crown,
Throughout the land were chosen
Young girls of all renown.
 
Esther was a Hebrew
Who lived with Mordecai,
Chosen by the royal court,
She caught King Xerxes’ eye.
 
But Haman was an Agagite
And had a grudge with all the Jews,
He made a plan for Xerxes
That would cause the Jews to lose.
 
Though Esther was the Persian Queen,
Her lineage wasn’t known,
Even Xerxes who so loved his queen
Was oblivious on his throne.
 
When Mordecai refused to bow,
Haman set his plan in place.
Xerxes signed the order
To end the Jewish race.
 
Mordecai warned Esther
Of the plan that would unfold,
Through Hathach he told Esther,
“You must be brave; you must be bold.”
 
“Perhaps you were made queen
For such a time as this.
If you ignore the role you play,
You’ll surely be remiss.”
 
So Esther turned to God
In fasting and in prayer
And asked of Mordecai
That the Jews, as well, prepare.
 
Then Esther went to Xerxes,
And through clever words and deeds,
She turned the course in play
To preserve the Chosen’s seed.
 
Now Haman is no more,
But God’s people grow in love,
Thanks to Mordecai and Esther
And providence from above.
