Easter Mornings
Sussex was the little town
Where family gathered all around
And only laughter could be found
On Easter mornings.
Where all had waited there to see
A little girl so filled with glee
Her Easter treats,what would there be?
On Easter Mornings.
A lacey dress in shades of blues
Hair ribbons in assorted hues
Black patent leather Sunday shoes
On Easter mornings.
Basket filled with celephane straw
A lucky torquoise rabbits' paw
The first thing that I always saw
On Easter mornings.
Easter bunnies to delight
Made of chocolate, brown and white
Waiting there for me to bite
On Easter mornings.
But I have saved the best for last
The childhood memories of Easters past
Of Mothers' hugs,how time does pass
On Easter mornings.

Earth's saddest day and gladdest
day were just three days apart!
-Susan Coolidge
Lights, candles and bonfires mark celebrations in many countries. Roman Catholics often put the candles in the church out on Good Friday and light them again with the Pascal Candle or Easter Candle, on Easter Day.
