Easter is...

I wrote this poem back in high school but I think it is still relevant:

Easter Is....
Colored eggs and candy
The Easter bunny too,
Are all a part of Easter
And what it means to you

But these aren't important
when you think about it all,
Christ up on the cross
To save us when we fall.

Imagine how it must have felt
To see that empty tomb,
The doubts they must have had
But what else could they assume?

Putting the pieces together
Seeing their mistakes,
The guilt they must have felt
Knowing Christ had died for all their sakes.

But now Easter is a happy time
To rejoice and for all to sing,
For Jesus Christ has risen
Our Eternal Lord and King!
