On the Hunt

On the hunt to find one
Painted eggs wait for me
Hide and seek, let's go play
The game's begun early 
On this Easter Sunday 

On the hunt to find one
Wooden basket in hand
The orange egg was mine
Lying there in plain sight
'Neath the rising sunshine 

On the hunt to find one
Shaded by my bonnet
The blue egg was sky high
Nestled in an oak limb
Hidden, and acting shy

On the hunt to find one 
That dear old Bunny placed
Low 'neath a tulip stem
Pink and purple eggs sat
Just my eyes noticed them

On the hunt to find one 
Skipping my way along
The middle of the hills
A yellow egg I seek
Lost amongst daffodils 

On the hunt to find one
Spying the last green egg
Amidst the grass so tall
I ran back to Mother
Shouting, "I found them all!"
