A Young Boy's Easter (Re-Post)

In a black morning, hollowed with eggshell delicacy....not fragile, simply gentle with dark chocolate skies a pajamaed, sleepy ten year old with a six year old's excitement.. up at five a.m....with his basket ready to search out candy eggs A dew kissed morning, the blossom of an Easter sunrise which rises to greet a family....a father, a mother, a brother, a sister a house blessed with a spirit of His presence so richly apparent, in polished shoes, combed hair, Sunday dress In hard boiled colored eggs, chocolate rabbits, jelly beans.. baked ham, scalloped potatoes, fruit salad, homemade shortcake assorted aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents... Being allowed to eat his candy providing he ate at least one piece of broccoli.

Cute and nicely written, Carrie! Reminds me of my youth but I was always good for eating nearly everything even when my older cousin feeded me with his spinach (and I still like spinach!). Hope you'll be having a good Easter-time and thanks for your comments...Gert

lovely layout! peaceful Easter tribute to your sweet family! Carrie! I remember the time, years ago, Dad was in the hospital at Easter, so we brought him baskets! my youngest (now 19!) had on a puffy sweet Easter Dress with a bonnet tilted on her 3yr. old head..dribbling licorice juice down the front as we walked down the hospital corridor to Pop! we got a picture! thx for the memories! jamesy
