Hope you have a wonderful Easter!Twas the morning of Easter, the breaking of dawn,
The sun is just rising, there's dew on the lawn.
The kids were in bed, still soundly asleep,
nary a sound to be heard, not even a peep.
The eggs were all boiled and decorated and dyed,
It's egg salad season again, my wife sighed.
Easter's that one special time of year,
When baskets of green plastic grass seem so dear.
Filled with goodies to satisfy a candy fix
with chocolate, jelly beans, and marshmellow chicks.
But there's more to Easter than bunnies and toys,
colored eggs and candy for all girls and boys.
The reason for Easter is that Christ came to save,
He died and was buried, then rose from the grave.
So remember when picking up boiled eggs of odd hues,
The meaning of Easter: to share the "Good News".
