A Love Poem of Easter Blessing

Every year upon this day,

I feel alive in such a way,

Resurrected from the dead,

Of night I cherish a newfound light,

Shining down, shining bright,

From Heaven’s Gate,

Illuminating the path we tread,

Opening doors and breathing life

It was this day, long ago,

When the boulder moved

Away from the structure

Where your Son was entombed

On this day, Mary came to you,

But found but rags and empty stone,

Others came and couldn’t understand

But believers knew you returned for them

Easter Sunday is not

A celebration of Chocolate, Rabbits

Jelly Beans or Candy,

It’s a genuflection for us to give,

Acknowledging all you and your Son have gave

All the love you’ve blessed all the creatures, great and small, all of them, each and all.

Easter Haiku

Hunting Easter Eggs,

Red, Green, Blue, Pink and Yellow

Hidden in the straw



You took the last one

I wanted the Burgundy

Jelly Belly Beans

In Honor of Easter

Three men, unlike the others,

Bound to serve similar fates,

Atop the skull the three stand still,

Only one of which shall reappear,

Two forgotten,

One impossible to forget,

As it was this one man, Jesus, a Shepherds son,

Whose life he gave, to save each of us
