An Easter Family Gathering

Adults get together socializing as the children run and play
Enjoying the celebration, song and sermon shared in this day
Services are joyous with recognition of His great gift
We reflect on His sacrifice that keeps us from going adrift

We share food, drink, and join in intense conversation
With family and friends, a renewed hold on a faithful foundation
Smiles, jokes and laughter fill the air all around the picnic spot
Time for the Children's Easter Egg Hunt, before it gets too hot

The children are clothed in flowery dresses and fine suits
Running, seeking hidden eggs amongst the grass and tree roots
Each, collecting their prizes in a large decorated container
Stopping here and there to appreciate the young gifted painter

Beautiful colors swirled, layered and glittered, united into art
Creating a kaleidoscope of wonder and delight, touching a child's heart
All the children receive treats and toys for the eggs they have found
Squealing in delight for their hard work, hunting through the ground

Reveling in a beautiful day of fun, faith, and family times
We gather our belongs just as the church bell chimes
Hugs and kisses for everyone, we make our rounds to the guests
Each of us very thankful, for we are all truly blessed
