A Blessed Easter Morning

Like the first lily that pushes out of the ground 
You raised your arms and rose to heaven
Revived and restored like a turtle dove in flight     
You opened your heart and He raised you up,   
on this "Blessed Easter Morning" 
As the larks deliver their song in flight 
we celebrate you,   "Lord, Savior, King" 
This heavenly reward is our countenance of light   
bestowed on us today brighter than sunlight; 
You, first tulip of Spring rejoice in our hearts  
as we awaken to a new world full of promise 
You auroral dawning (alibi) rose of Sharon   
bring us tidings of love and renewal 
Thankyou

Oh Mystic Rose, this is such a beautiful poem filled with fresh new hope and peace. I loved your imagery. My favorite flowers are tulips. "a new world of promise is what we all need " You're right. I miss being on Poetry Soup, I had to be off for a while but I am delighted to be back.
