There's peeping chicks and quacking ducks
And TV rabbits laying colord eggs to hide.
New outfit and bonnet for the lady;
For the fussing gent there's a suit and tie.
Sunrise service just before dawn,
A ham in the oven waiting for lunch.
This must be Easter Sunday--
But that's just a hunch.
...D.A.
Seen such darkness as had come,
For on this heartbreaking day
They had taken away her Son.
Even the sun from the midday sky
Seemed to have been erased,
For three long hours
It had hidden its face.
Her mind went back
More than thirty years.
Remembering her child
Brought a flood of fresh tears.
She knew from the start
He was no ordinary one;
An angel had come to earth
To announce the birth of her Son.
No, this was no ordinary Son;
She knew that from the start.
She observed His difference
And kept it all in her heart.
Three days have now past
Since He died on that tree
She didn't yet understand
He surrendered His life for me.
But this was not the end
As she so sadly supposed--
It was only the beginning
For from the tomb He arose!
In full obedience, this Son
With everlasting, unbelievable Love,
Had followed Redemption's plan
Set in motion from Heaven above.
His Father's will had been done.
JESUS IS NOW ALIVE! Forever free!
Because He is, I am and you are,
You see, He did it all for you and me!
"It is finished," said He;
The work's been done.
This was God's Son --
"Mary's Son."
