Happy Easter!!

This a poem that one of my girlfriends wrote....

True Meaning of Easter

What do we think of when we hear the word Easter?
Many think of bunnies, baskets, colored eggs,
Chocolates, candies, Easter egg hunts and someone dressed up
in a bunny suit with the name Peter
Still some think of little chicks with skinny legs.

But what are we really celebrating this time of year?
The resurrection of Christ, of course, a man so dear.
Who died on the cross and suffered for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane
And murmured not once while he died for you and me.

Christ rose again on that bright Easter morn
The pain and suffering, he faced no more.
He rose with such love, glory and grace
With nothing but humbleness and light on his face.
He knew of God’s children, you and me, would be saved
For the tremendous sacrifice God in Heaven and he made.

So among all the candy, baskets, bunnies and fun
Remember our Savior and the many things he has done
The true meaning of Easter, let it forever be in our hearts
And our Brother, our Lord, from us will never part.
