Chocolate eggs and candies
bunnies cute and dear
Exchanged in love and blessings ~
Easter time is here.

Greetings sent to loved ones
with cheer and happiness
A joyful time to reflect
on times remembered best.

Sharing love and laughter
making new memories
Coming together to share this time
with friends and families.

Though Easter's filled with candies
and eggs of chocolate
This special time is so much more
of why we celebrate.

It's about unconditional love
through sacrifice for us
Taking all our sins and grief
with Him to the Cross.

Easter is a time to reflect
to remember why
All that we celebrate today ~
the birth of New Life.

And while chocolate eggs and candy
surround this time of year
Remember love that transcended time
now that Easter time is here.

"So often we forget the true meaning of things like Easter and Christmas, and why we celebrate them.   Nowadays, it has become the time when the "easter bunny" comes and leaves us chokky eggs and candies. So commercialised is it that we have lost focus of the real meaning.   The title of this poem (which I wrote at a hospital appointment) combines the chocolates and yummy things we love, and Eternal Life, which is what Easter is all about.
This Easter, let's remember and reflect...."
