Easter Bunny

EASTER BUNNY

The Easter Bunny came

though I didn't see him.

He left a present

but not in a basket.

I heard he wears long whiskers

and is as quiet as a whisper.

Perhaps because I didn't hear him

I didn't realize he had come.

I noticed he sampled my garden's fare

for he nibbled here and over there.

No one tells him to eat his greens.

He's known to lick his chops clean.

He left behind milk chocolate,

though I prefer dark chocolate.

Not the eating kind,

the composting kind.

It's a present for the garden

as a goodwill offering

for he eats whatever he likes

then leaves turds behind at night.

It looks like his family came to chow down, too,

for there are piles and piles of doo doo.

They had a romping heyday

while I slept the night away.

If we learn to see

with eyes that believe

we'll see the good

that could

come

from

life's emergencies

and unpleasantries.

As every silver lining brightens our day,

every emergency has a way

to teach us to stop and pray.

You'll find prayer is the only way

to get though many a day.

Prayer chases the doubts away.

God's peace will come in and stay.

Faith that believes will always pay.

Believing faith makes a way

for seeking God's ways always

paves the way for peace today.

Learn to hear God's voice say,

“no matter what comes your way today,

I am with you through it and will always

make a way to show your believing faith pays.”

Trust and then wait for God to show you His way.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.
