Dear Mr Easter Bunny,
I just had to write today...
To see if you stop in Heaven...
As you hop along your way?
You see...a part of me is up there...
That I miss with all my heart...
You see...my brother lost his battle...
With a disease that tore our lives apart.
So, I wanted to know if you go there???
And if I could ask a favor of you?
Can you take him a basket to heaven?
Filled with colored eggs and bunnies too?
And could you please add a green egg for me?
Mom says green means new life and rest,
For my brother is now resting in heaven...
No more pain and no more tests.
And could you also add an orange egg for me?
Orange for the color of a candles flame,
For my brothers little light will always shine...
Although our lives will never be the same.
And could you add an egg so blue?
For blue is the color of a cloudless sky,
And when I see the geese flying over me...
I know its a sign...from him way up high.
And we cant forget a yellow egg too...
For yellow is the color of the rising sun,
And my brothers love will shine down on me...
For all my days and nights to come.
And we also need a rainbow colored egg...
For the rainbow way up high in the sky,
For Mom says he will always live within me...
And his spirit will never die.
And last but not least a red egg if you could?
For we all know red means the color of love,
And I love my brother oh so much...
Please send my love to him above.
Thank you Mr Easter Bunny...
I really appreciate your time today...
And I will say a prayer for you too...
As you hop to Heaven for me on Easter day.
When you take his basket up to the Heavens...
Can you please whisper in his ear?
And wish him the happiest Easter From me...
For I miss him more with each passing year.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...
Hopping down the bunny trail...
Hippity Hop...Easters on its way...
In the story of Peter Rabbit...
Peter wanted to get into the garden so bad...
He was very determined and tried everyway...
So did we...we searched for a cure with all we had.
Just like Peter all seemed great for awhile...
We thought we had won...and we would never part...
The treatments seemed to be working...
We were so happy with all our hearts.
Like when the farmer saw Peter and yelled 'STOP THIEF'...
We wanted to yell that too...
When we heard the news...My child had relapsed...
And there was nothing more they could do.
Peter rabbit was most dreadfully frightened...
For he had forgotten his way...
Sometimes we lose our way from God also....
And in the midst of our sorrow back away.
As we stumble...God catches us...
Just like He lead Peter on that day...
He guides us in the right directions...
And shows us the way.
I thank God for blessing my life with my child....
Even though my child left earth too soon...
I would only change the outcome...but I would not trade...
Even a minute....for all the stars and the moon.
At The end of the story of Peter Rabbit...
He did get out...and he didnt get caught...
And this is so true of disease...Some are cured...
But some children are not.
So, I am here today...
With a purpose and a cause...
Childhood disease the purpose...
And better cures the cause.
This Easter let us all celebrate life...
How precious each day is with our children...
Lets thank God for the gift of eternal life...
And for those who have lost a loved one....
Knowing we will see them in Heaven...again.

RED is for my love for you that will never sever....
For love is not measured by the time we had together...
but whats in our hearts forever.
GREEN is for memories that I always will treasure...
Although time may pass...our memories will last
...forever and ever and ever.
YELLOW is for Sunshine that you have gave to me....
You brightened up my life and made my world shine
And will continue to shine brilliantly for the rest of time.
ORANGE is for the candles flame I light in memory of you...
A Flame that glows so bright as I speak your name in prayer...
Asking God to hold you close...until I join you there.
BLACK is for my grief from my broken shattered heart
Taking each day one at a time...as I keep your memory alive....
Life is different...I am different...but I CAN and WILL survive.
PURPLE is for tears I shed as I remember you....
Precious memories you left behind....preserved deep inside...
You will always live on through our family...forever by our side.
WHITE is for my hope and faith in God above...
The promise of resurrection....knowing we will reunite....
above the clouds...over the rainbow....in His everlasting light.
PINK if for the signs you send from Heaven up above...
Lighting my path wherever I go...and whatever I may do...
My precious child...I will always love...and always remember you.
Remember you on Easter....as always.
