Easter Day

A Happy Easter everyone


Happy Easter everyone, as it's here at last.
Although like all the others, I am sure it will soon pass.


Christ rose from death on this day
Many years ago. They say.


If Christ look down on Ireland now.
I'm sure he'd frown and be sad.


For all the souls, He gained that day.
I'm sure he would you know I say.


Today, of course he might also say.
Happy 90th  birthday to the Queen today.


I'll add my greeting to his as well.
Happy birthday, Queen Elizabeth, you do look swell.


Will Christ see the boat race today?
If so, for which team will he for pray?


As storm Katie begins to blow.
Like me, he might just hope, they stay afloat you know.


As to the rest of the world.
I guess he'll frown and tut.


Seeing what man is doing wrong.
Not treating all right, as life goes on.


Peace is what he came here for.
In Jesus. He did, I do implore.


But he we killed to save our sins.
Of which we still do lot's for him.


As Christ goes back to heaven, now.
As He is risen from the dead.


I daresay He is there with St Peter.
Welcoming all innocence, rising high up there.

May innocents be at peace now.
And as to the rest of us down here.

I hope you're alive to hear.
A Happy Easter everyone.

Now it's over for another year.<
