I cannot believe that it is almost Easter. Last year during the Easter sunrise service I had to write a poem for the meditation portion of the service. Below I am going to post my poem from last year. It really speaks to me because the timing of Easter is as spring starts. The weather starts to turn and the days get much brighter. It is truly one of my favorite times of year. Here is my poem that I would like to revisit:
What Easter Means To Me
The sun rises and casts an orange hue over the sprouting flowers and plants
The birds wake early and fill the air with graceful chants
The wind, crisp and calm smelling of flowers and natural scents
What Easter Means To Me
My friends and family coming from all around
My parents playing music and singing loud
My church bells ringing throughout the town
What Easter Means To Me
The happiness is felt all around
The joy is in every sight and sound
The sky is always clear no matter sun nor cloud
What Easter Means To Me
My mind is clear with happy content
My spirit is whole and at peace
My body is calm and completely relaxed
What Easter Means To Me
What Easter Means To Me
Is a time in which we can all worship
As Jesus has risen so has the Earth around us
Now is time for us start anew and enjoy the beauty
What Easter Means To Me
