Presence of Easter

Coming upon the Easter sunrise there comes a secret spirit a home, more stable, than the month before snuggled deep in the heart of the springtime grass It is more than the chocolate and pastel eggs or a breakfast of waffles on a bright Sunday morning More than a dress, or a new pair of shoes or voices in church singing "...Alleuhia" Even more than a ball game, in a big front yard and cars driving up the long driveway Three families three cars children piling out noise and laughter, ham, baskets, smiles, and hugs gratitude and joy 'Christ The Lord Has Risen Today'...and again, again, and again... although, it is evident that the spirit..... has never been far away ~ For Linda Marie's Contest By Carrie Richards
