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.
