Easter

I meditate and ponder over the life of Jesus, As I prepare to celebrate Easter with bunny and eggs; Sent by Abba for assurance of salvation of humanity, Jesus, like a faithful steward, lively fulfilled the given duty; Death did not seem to him dreadful monster, Though he wished his bitter cup to be lighter; The body burred was mortal and immaterial ordeal, Resuscitation was resurrection of the ideal; Perform each action inspired by love, he said, Sowing seeds of hope in pessimistic minds, he went ahead; Life that lived for others does have no end; Convictions rooted in pure love, to death never gets bend; There's new hope and new life once the body dies, With newer beauties unfolding the spring arrives; There's no life if the seed does not fall and die, Dwelling within the womb of earth uplifts it so high; I pray to Jesus to rise like him from each of my fall, And, ultimately, abide with him at his divine call...! 24 March 2022 Easter Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
