What does Easter mean to you,
a friend asked that question, out of the blue.

My mind sees Jesus, nailed there to a cross,
I think of the souls, otherwise lost.
And I cringe.

A crown of thorns, I envision on His head,
Nails in His hands 'n feet,
Dripped trails of bright, blood red.
An innocent man, weighed down 'n dying,
Took on the world's sins, as we look up crying.

We'll live forever, 'cause He gave His life.
God's plan for mankind, 'twas a heavy price!
And I cringe.

Easter means resurrection Sunday,
A stone rolled away,
And eternal life, here to stay.

Easter means beauty, flowers, and such,
Loved ones in Heaven who meant, oh so much.
Easter means celebration, a feast, a brunch.

Let's continue with this theme, shall we???
