Onomasticon

Today's word is "onomasticon" (on-uh-MAS-ti-kon) ... A list or collection of proper names.

Back

There is a litany of names,

That runs for generations.

This onomasticon provides

A way to track the lineage

Of a man who became a king.

Not a king of lands and

Treasure. Not a king with
Designs on earthly power.
But with designs instead to
Become servant of us all
And love us into life.
