Carrying Eggs and Lilies
A little girl goes out
into the fresh green field,
hoping to pick flowers for her mother
from cancer, she had been healed.
She wanted to brighten her mother's day
and help put a smile on her face,
this little girl's mother was proud of her
filled with God's good grace.
This little girl has a kind heart
loves her mother, with her soul,
if she didn't have her mother around
her life wouldn't feel whole.
Exactly what she wanted
the little girl couldn't find,
she asked father to take her to the store
he had said, he wouldn't mind.
This will be an Easter
her mother won't soon forget,
she picked up some calla lilies
and egg filled Easter basket.
She took them back home to mother
she greeted her mother at the door with love,
her mother had tears in her eyes
when she gave her little girl a hug.
