Hoppy Easter
     

    Aargh!

    Darn that pesky rabbit
    leaving colored eggs all
    scattered on the lawn and
    candy, toys and baskets
    dropped all through the house!
    Darn that pesky rabbit!

    Kids!

    They wanted him to come,
    begged for him to come and
    left a carrot out last night to
    make him want to come and
    leave them baskets full of
    candy, toys and choc’late.

    Humph!

    I will make them pick up!
    They will go and clean my yard
    finding all the eggs that
    rabbit left and eat the
    choc’late eggs and candy
    dropped by pesky rodents.

     

     

     

     

     

    Kids!

    They will think it fun and
    as they chomp on candy
    sweets and choc’late bars, I’ll
    tell them of the joyous
    news that Christ was risen
    from the tomb this day.

    Hear!

    Children hear and listen
    well for this is why we
    celebrate today:
    Jesus Christ our Savior
    rose and brings to each and
    ev’ryone new life and

    Hope!

    In the season of new
    life and birth, to think that
    Christ can give us strength to
    overcome our weakness
    and become like him: the
    Hope and joy of Easter!
