"Happy Easter"-A Poem in Memoriam

Sun shining brightly
As the world begins to bloom
Bringing new life and hope
Taking me back to years gone by
When the magic was still there
Still alive in my heart
Frilly pink dresses
Chasing treasures on a string
The scent of fresh baked muffins
Hanging in the air
Brightly colored eggs
Scattered throughout the lawn
Each one containing some small gift
Sweet sugary treats
Before sitting down to breakfast
Surrounded by love, family
The warmth that comes
From knowing you belong
Baskets filled with wonder
“Should I eat the bunny’s head first?”
So much laughter
Replaced now with a wistful sigh
A single tear
Longing for that simpler time
Before it was all lost
Memories fill my heart
Whispering “Happy Easter”
To an angel in the heavens…
