AN EASTER LESSON

Now is the time to write a rhyme
	About the Easter season.
Because it's true that I think of you
	And I know no better reason.

Each day we find that life's unkind
	And there is trouble all around.
And it may be that in life's sea
	Problems do abound.

Now may you know while here below
	That God always thinks of you,
So trust in Him when faith grows dim
	For He will see you through.

Remember that on that day when the crowds held sway
	And they slew His blessed Son,
How dark it did seem and no one could dream
	For it looked like sin had won.

Then came Easter morn when people all forlorn
	Arrived at Joseph's precious tomb
The angels asked, "Why" to those who came to cry
	"Come, see the empty room!"

To their dismay, that Easter day
	They learned a new song
When the road seems to end it is only a bend
	If we keep traveling on.

If we trust in God as we travel this sod
	What ever obstacle stands in our way.
For joy will return if we can just learn
	To look forward to life's "Easter day!"
