Our Easter Wish For You
I remember times of Easter past,
Following past season of Lent,
Which are times of fast!
I remember the family seated around the table,
Keeping our prayers and
Our arms givings stables!
My mother would dress us so nicely,
We would dress in our Sunday Best,
then, we would go to church,
And Jesus would take care of the rest.
Yes, I remember since I was a little boy,
How Easter brought the family,
Time of togetherness and joy!
My parents would hide our Easter baskets,
They would fill them with presents and candy,
Yes, our Easter morning was definitely dandy!
The day before Easter my sister and I
Would color Easter eggs until the day passed us by,
My grandma would help us,
She would do her best,
And with the other eggs, well, again,
Jesus would take care of the rest.
My mother’s Easter pizza of ham and cheese is
Also another of my mom’s ways to please!
Yes, praying, going in your Sunday best,
Coloring eggs, hiding Easter baskets,
Family joy true and true,
Is my family’s Easter wish for the English’s
“Our Easter Wish for you.”
