THE MIRACLES OF EASTER

The sleeping earth awakens,
The robins start to sing,
The flowers open wide their eyes
To tell us it is spring.

The bleakness of the winter
Is melted by the sun,
The tree that looked so stark and dead
Becomes a living one.

These miracles of Easter
Wrought with diving perfection,
Are the blessed reassurance
Of our Saviour's Resurrection.

REJOICE!
IT'S EASTER!

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Let not your soul be sad
Easter is a time of joy
When all hearts should be glad.

Glad to know that Jesus Christ
Made it possible for men
To have their sins forgiven
And, like Him, to live again.

So at this joyous season
May the wondrous Easter Story
Renew our Faith so we may be
Partakers of His Glory!

THE EASTER BUNNY

by M. Josephine Todd, 1909

There's a story quite funny,
About a toy bunny,
And the wonderful things she can do;
Every bright Easter morning,
Without warning,
She colors eggs, red, green, or blue.

Some she covers with spots,
Some with quaint little dots,
And some with strange mixed colors, too
-- Red and green, blue and yellow,
But each unlike his fellow
Are eggs of every hue.

And it's odd, as folks say,
That on no other day
In all of the whole year through,
Does this wonderful bunny,
So busy and funny,
Color eggs of every hue.

If this story you doubt
She will soon find you out,
And what do you think she will do?
On the next Easter morning
She'll bring you without warning,
Those eggs of every hue.

EASTER ISN'T EASY

I heard a funny bunny say,
"I just go nuts on Easter day.
�I hide about a zillion eggs
�And baskets tangle up my legs.

"I'm tired, my eyes are full of tears
�And overflowing to my ears.
�If I'm to work more Easter Days
�At my age I should change my ways

"I know I must do something rash
�So I'll start saving all my cash
�Then next year, with a little luck
�I'll deliver in my pick up truck."
