We celebrate together in a charm

A love in wonder spoken free

With added tease in morning alarm

The children horde their candy

~

Such little cause to worry of their greed

Youthful ambition, the search

The plastic spheres is only their need

While the world arrives in church.

~

Inside the facade of precious childhood

We do protect, we wish only love

A world around crumbles a neighborhood

In the cooing mist of lovely dove.

~

A pain exists that frightens innocence

On Easter day we pray that life has chance
