Easter

This is Easter

A holiday where we are

Forced to dress up

In bows and ribbons and dresses galore

This is my grandmother's house

Decorated with lace, love,

And flowers

This is my cousin

Whose bright eyes and curly hair

Are always a welcoming a sight

This is second lunch,

A bowl of fresh noodle soup,

Eaten out of bowls with straws

Instead of spoons

This is a day full of travel

And back-and-forths,

"Hello's" and "Good-bye's"

And "Look at how much you have grown's"

This is a day filled with joy

And jumping on the trampoline

Playing dead-man walking, or

Running from wasps in the tree house

This is Easter

A holiday filled with love,

Happiness,

And family
