Easter
by Lisa A. White
First light
brightens little eyes
that peer
over the windowsill
in hopes to catch
just a glance,
a little peak
at long ears,
pink eyes,
and big feet...
Frilly dress,
prickly lace,
and pearl lined gloves...
pageant the image.
Long taut tresses
wound
with ribbons...
wrap a pretty,
pouty face
picture perfect...
One single red tulip,
sharp tipped bushes,
and green grass
encsconce
the array
of patterned,
colored eggs,
carefully prepared
by fat, dimpled hands...
Disappointment
soon forgotten
as the bunny
was found
not in the yard,
but in the heart
as one
more
Easter
was gone...
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
