Celebrate Easter


 CELEBRATE EASTER

Beside Lake Chatuge,
the Easter bunny hides
eggs in the verdant grass,
a hollow oak, and daffodils
popping up like lemon drops.

Children wear pastel, ruffled dresses
and race about with their baskets
to find the prized egg.
Fluffy chicks cheep and peep
in a cardboard box.

A parade of tulips
bursting forth from earth's tomb,
the bluebirds perform a spring concert.
Redbud trees don purple robes,
as the dogwoods wash mountaintops
with thousands of petals.
            --Brenda Kay Ledford

I wish my blogger friends a Blessed Easter!
