Easter This Year (2018)

Easter This Year

My Easter this year will be different
No colored eggs
Or decorated eggs,
Just deep-felt love
For Christ, so dear.

My daughter's Easter this year will be different
No Easter basket
Full of fluff,
No jelly beans
And other stuff.

My husband's Easter this year will be different
No Kit-Kat, no m & m's
Or other Easter chocolates
He likes
On the table in the living room

Our Easter this year will be different
No Will
No Fran
No Em
Sitting around the dinning table together

Our Easter this year will be the same
We'll go to church
Pray and sing Alleluia!
Listen to the message
He's risen!

Our Easter this year will bring hope
For me
For my husband
For my family
For brighter future

Thank you God
For your love
For your sacrifice
For your promise
And for your blessings.

Amen!
