Thoughts for Easter Day

 

Heard some hopping in the night

Not a sound to give a fright

Easter bunny having fun

Leaving eggs for everyone.

 

Went to church again today,

Happy, happy Easter Day

Remembered that the egg has meaning

Not just sugar for the gleaning.

 

Hollow eggs remind us then

That the tomb was empty when

Followers with heart filled dread

Came expecting Jesus dead.

 

And the solid eggs remind us

Of the wonderful life inside us

Eggs from which small chickens grow

Contain the seeds of life you know.

 

So the bunny with his sharing

Tells the world we should be caring.

As did hymns we sang today

Tell us we have NEW LIFE each day.

Sue,

 

You should let your talent show more often. Nice work and the sentiment is a twist I hadn't heard before.

Sue:

 

As a non christian didn't know good meaning of easter, your poem (essay) makes easter really special to me also,

Happy Easter to you and your family.
