~ Easter Egg Tree
Gifts ~
At Easter time,
sweet gifts for
you
Are all tied to
the tree
For family,
friends, for you
and I
Such lovelies to
receive
I see up high the
sparkly gifts
Of gentle caring
love
Placed there for
us with tenderness
By all that God
has done
The teal ones tied
with bows
Are perfect peace
to crave
Secured most
tightly by the
love
That saves us from
the grave
The golden ones on
left and right
Are joy, reach up
and grasp
Pluck, unfold and
then enjoy
Forever in your
heart
Take blue and
pink, for all they
hold
Of life's unending
gift
Jesus gives them
all with love
The sweetest life
to live
Upon the tree He
died to give
The gift of gifts
away
Connected by the
thread of love
As yours to keep
today
My prayers for
such a blessed
time
And love I tucked
inside
If you but catch,
unwrap the egg
That's always
bouncing by
Soft whispers from
Derry's Heart
