An Easter basket blessings of butter and bread,
hard boiled decorated eggs for Easter hunt spreads.
Pierogies, Kielbasa and Sauerkraut.
delectable prepared, is what Polish folks are about.
Spring time flowers, tulips, hyacinths and daffodills
staggered here and there between the green grassed hills.
Czas Wielkanocy - a wish for the Easter Holidays
set down to kneel, thank God and pray,
z calego serca - with all my heart
I wish you a wonderful start
to the spring so long awaited
and the Easter celebration elated.
PUSSY WILLOWS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS
The catkins, silver flamed, light up each branch.
I choose a bunch to brighten up a room,
to celebrate this Dingus Day of Spring.
We gobble gab, with pierogies on hand,
and sip our wine, and beer. We lift, we cheer -
To life! Then bow our heads for those we mourn.

In memory of my uncle and cousin
