What Easter Means To Me

kids with clothes as bright as sun eggs and chocolate lots of fun but Easter means much more to me then all of this frivolity we condemned cursed sentenced Him we scourged spit hung Him to a limb our sins hung nailed Him to a tree now there is life for you and me He gave pure love from heaven above laid down His life this beautiful dove because He chose the tree you see you and i can now be free He did not cry He did not groan He knew three days He rolls the stone He did it one time for eternity conquered death for love for all you see we no longer hunger no longer thirst because His love removed the curse He does not follow He takes the lead Rejoice, Rejoice, HE IS RISEN INDEED!

Sometimes the meaning of Easter gets lost in the egg hunts and baskets filled with chocolate. The miracle of the Resurrection is so joyfully expressed in your poem, Jeff. (My parents used to put a chocolate cross in my basket instead of a chocolate bunny because they wanted me to remember why we celebrated Easter.) Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
