Easter Memories

Memories of Easter from my childhood

Come around to visit every year.

The beautiful flowers in every yard

Makes a special mem’ry I hold dear

The dozens of eggs on the stove to boil

The dyes and wax pencils lined up

I loved searching through all of the cab’nets

To find Mama’s old chipped coffee cups

The hot vinegar and dye were added

The wire ring helped place the eggs just so

A few seconds of watching patiently

Brought forth a bounty of eggs to show

Dad, the Easter Bunny, would take each egg

All over our backyard he would hide

My friends and I would look all over the place

‘Cause the gold one had chok’lit inside!

Remembering Easter in a diff’runt way

So many colors from which to choose

Thoughts of a new dress that my Mama picked out

With brand new white patent leather shoes.
