“Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The appearance of light is the same as the survival of the soul” Victor Hugo
Easter
Beyond Easter lovely lilies
Beyond its beauteous bunnies
Beyond its savoury sweeties,
Lies its illuminating light,
Light of forgiveness and mercy
Through resurrection of His Son
Crucified for false heresy,
Flogged and buried in a dark tomb,
Light shimmering from Jesus Christ,
Risen from the tomb of darkness
To light the path of His shepherds
And guide them to realms of brightness,
Light of faith in Lord`s divine son,
Rising from the dullness of death
To share divine love and grace
And infuse in His herd new breath,
Light of the victory of life
Over the dreary devils of death
With its undaunted icy hands
Lurking in all corners of earth,
Light that cleanses the human soul
From the filth of sour hate and pride
Ushers in joy to one and all
And drives saddening clouds aside,
Light of the hope of redemption
Of man from evils and his sin
To the end goal of salvation
Trough renewal of human soul.
On Easter Day and every day,
To the Lord and His Only Son
Let`s offer wreaths of hearty thanks
For letting go of human treason,
For shedding pearls of blood by Christ
For redeeming the human race
And though thrashed and nailed on the cross
Showered on man love and grace.
On Easter Day and everyday
Let us reverberate His love
By lending, in a humble way,
A friendly hand to those in need;
On Easter Day and everyday
Let us spread His words in the fields,
In the towns and in the city,
Over the mounts and on the hills;
On Easter day and everyday
Let`s unfold His divine message
Over the scroll of time and space
That both common folks and sages,
Hopes of salvation may embrace
And with divine light may be graced.
