Easter Meaning

The meaning of Easter is beautiful to me
I felt my mom's love and Jesus blessing to be
There was a big basket full of special treats
Chocolate bunnies and little sugar chicks
Never do I forget this happiness

Mom and dad gave me a dress brand new
Pretty shoes with a lovely bonnet too
Colored eggs and a stuffed bunny to hold
A big Easter egg to see through,
Into a little town, happy and gay
Life back then, was made that way

Easter means our Lord Jesus was raised
With hope of everlasting days
I sang in church, songs for the King
For me His love means everything

Those days may have gone away
Yet the love in me I share always
The gifts were wonderful, so full of joy
Yet Easter meaning is given of yourself
In loving others, to rise above it all
We are God's Masterpiece, big and small
