Growing Up
On a hollow morn fill with joy
Shinny and peaceful as Easter
Had I known that daddy wasn’t happy
As he said, be quite as words followed
Daddy did
He did say Easter bunnies have crossed the road
And gone are they
He murdered you dear Easter bunny
Terrified and sad I grabbed my pillow
Alone I want to be
Daddy did say those horrible words
Easter bunnies do not exist, although you did
At least in my little tiny happy chocolate world
Daddy did make me believe in your existence
Tis the Easter bunny, thee carried gold and grey chocolate eggs
From house to house for all around the world
Lovely in fight for motivation in deep grief
Daddy did always say
Jesus said: I am resurrection and the life
He who believes in me will live,
Even though he dies
So do I believe
That you will live again
My dearest Easter bunny
