Easter Message Poem by James Casey

Easter Message

You are the bird in the sky
You are the wind, that slowly drifts by
You are the ground beneath our feet
You are the light, in the darkest street

You are the minutes, the hours, the day
You are forever in our hearts to stay
We wanted to hold on strong, not let go
With us you belong, this we all know

We can feel you beside us, guiding the way
With you we want to be, but here we must stay
You were here and did all you could
But now its empty, where you once stood

Though your body is gone, you will forever be
Because your memories, will never us flee
Your body was weak, and had to let go
But your still with us, this we all know

We will see your smile in our childrens eyes
We will hear your laughter, through their cries
We are us because of you
All our thanks, you are due

You where a man of great honor and strength
Fought for what you believed at any length
We hope to be a strong as you
May your memories pull us through

Today, is a day of many tears
Memories of you, throughout the years
We all have a way to say this too
However its said 'we all love you'

This is not good-bye its until we meet someday
Until we can all be together and with you, all stay

Happy Easter
