Belated Easter Poetry

Happy Easter giggles

Fill the chilly air

On this special Sabbath day.

The children everywhere!

Children gaily laughing

Children smiling bright!

Children skipping on their way.

Faces full of sheer delight.

Joyful, grateful, peaceful

Wholeheartedly we sing.

We relish every moment

On this single day of spring.

There's a reason for this gladness

A reason to rejoice.

For our Savior came to earth,

To give us all free choice.

There's a reason for this gladness

There's a reason to exclaim:

Hallelujah! Happy Day!

Our Savior lives again.
