a Happy Easter poem

[Maricel Evasco]

Easter

an opportunity to experience joy and hope

and cast away the burdens of painful reality

 

an opportunity to release anger and stress

and rejoice in forgiveness of others and self

 

an opportunity to find hope to shine light

through the darkness of discouragement and despair

 

an opportunity to acknowledge that miracles happen

if we affirm their existence

 

an opportunity to celebrate all expressions of joy

whether it be of your faith or of others

 

an opportunity to purposely commit to manifesting love

despite past grudges and disillusionment

 

an opportunity to reconnect with our spirituality and

experience a rebirth in our connections with others

 

an opportunity to resurrect that goodness in ourselves

that have laid dormant or forgotten in the grind of daily life

 

an opportunity to celebrate the symbolic risen Christ,

the light within us that gives us resiliency in dealing

with our human condition.

That is so beautifully written and an expression of the kindness and compassion you offer.  These are the very things that I need to focus my attention on, and in so doing lead a peaceful life

thank you
