An Easter Meditation

Mixed feelings on this Easter Day…

Dear friends and family far away

In different time zones who will meet

To celebrate with chocolate treat!

 

Egg hunt joys on emerald lawn

Lambs and bunnies newly born

Hyacinths and freesia sprays

Sunbeams piercing morning haze…

 

On-line news worldwide, is dark

Religion just a tiny spark;

 Pope Francis hails massed Easter crowds

With all the strength his age allows…

 

Yet walks past hedgerows still delight:

Blue scillas and gold aconite

Greet us on this April day

Bright palettes overshadow grey!

 

Time to sit back and take stock:

Dame Nature has not lost the plot;

Emboldened in the sun’s warm rays

Her floral largesse can amaze!
