I resurrected a poem that I wrote some time ago and hope you will find some Easter memories hidden in the lines.
The time has come at last
to give up the Lenten fast
this week is holy
filled with awesome sights
the blessing of the Holy Water
the Pascal candle to light
the purple colors of the penitent
change to glorious white
for HE has risen
our favorite acolyte
The dove of peace, serenity
the air is filled with song
choirs, organs,
church bells ring
for HE has come along.
The children dressed
in frocks of organdy
Mary Janes upon their feet
easter hats with flowers
gloves and purses that are neat
long pants, and ties
dressed up little men
waiting to slide down
and show their knees again
Colored eggs and chocolate bunnies
hide out in the grass
and soon the air is filled
with children knowing how to laugh
Easter ham, escalloped potatoes
baskets filled with chocolate
tied with ribbons true
jelly beans, candy eggs
a treat for me and you
HOPE YOUR EASTER IS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL . . . JUST LIKE YOU.
