Poem
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die." Jesus Christ I grew up in a Roman Catholic religious home, and went to a school run by many nuns: religion was drilled into my head each school day, I recall the lessons on Christ's crucifixion; and his resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday, to me, the child, it was about both sorrow and joy. My family celebrated Easter with a gathering, and I always got a new dress and shoes: it was Spring and the flowers were blooming, we kids always got gifts like fluffy stuffed toys; chocolate bunnies and colorful eggs and such, these had nothing to do with the religious part. The significance of Easter become clearer to me, as I go older and realized Christ died for us: his resurrection brings me thoughts of hope, joy, and rebirth, and new beginnings and love; of course there is meaning in the spring flowers, that make a showing right at Eastertime. White lilies represent purity and rebirth, tulips of all hues are about deep unconditional love: and daffodils are happiness and joy to behold, I am sure each spring bloom has a reason for being; although Easter is sad because of Christ's death, it is about his grace, faith and his inspiration. So, what was drilled into my head as a child, has become a belief that has comforted me: through grieving and loss, it is a glowing light, that shines within not just at Easter but forever, just ask Christ to take your hand and he will; no matter what ... Christ will be your miracle.
