Easter Day

Easter morning brings stress asking for God's advice Three-hour drive to parents asking for God's patience slow traffic and detours asking for God's guidance I will be ready to turn around asking God to just get us there So relieved when we arrive I'll be hungry and tired tons of food will await us brightly colored eggs sister's homemade dressing dad's homemade peanut butter pie sister's chicken mom's coleslaw my store-bought king's Hawaiian rolls car ride home will be interesting eyes will be propped open with toothpicks belly will be hitting steering wheel and I will be ready for bed!
