I Remember Easter

I Remember – Easter  -  I am not sure this qualifies as a spiritual poem or not but it shows that I have mixed memories of Easter - some of them very secular and some more mundane.  Some from early childhood and some from a more grown up perspective.  What is it you remember about Easter?

I remember
Mom’s big hat
Where we sat
At Easter
I remember

Old church pews
At Easter

New shoe blisters
At Easter

Festive bonnet
Flowers upon it
At Easter

Our Lord Jesus
How he freed us
At Easter
