Despair Erased

The cloudy day omens a dreary week As we count down to Easter, next Sunday. After Lent message, we’re too sad to speak. We’re seeing everything in shades of grey. We gladly waved our palm leaves on the way, Not knowing where His final steps would lead. For evil sin, with his pure life he’ll pay. We weep that our own actions bring the need. At Easter Sunrise Services, the sky Is brightened by a most rewarding sight. The good news must have been the reason why The clouds have dissipated in the night. His love more than we ere dare envision. Halleluiah, He is truly risen! An English Sonnet for Debbie and Cyndi’s Sonneteer Contest.
