Easter Memories

In the orange glow
Shadows of the faithful
Worship and sing
Celebrating the resurrection
Of Christ the King
The hour of sorrow over.

Day breaks
As sunlight spills
Upon the ground.
Colored eggs peek
Their pastel heads
Above the blades of grass.

Pure white lilies
Decorate the altar rails
In memory of our honored dead.
Bright banners raise high
Like an array of colored jelly beans.
Glad hallelujahs upon the lips of all.

Children, like spring chicks,
Scatter joyously
Multicolored baskets in tow;
Seeking treasures and chocolate
With hopes of glancing
The elusive bunny.

Families gather for
Easter Sunday dinner
Bowing heads in praise
and thanks for the promise
of His saving grace
and the blessings of the day.
