Easter is a special time for me in many ways
It is a day when I must stop and give eternal praise
For the many blessings I have, such as my liberty
I thank you, Lord, for giving up your own life, just for me.
Easter is a special time; a moment for myself
To pause and smile, grateful to God, for my much improved health
On Easter 1986, good fortune found its way
Into my life, as I went home; wellbeing, here to stay.
That Easter came as a surprise; my family never dreamed
I would be going home that day and their countless smiles beamed
A five year old who’d gone through much in both her surgeries
Was soon home hunting Easter eggs upon her hands and knees.
I never will forget that day, twenty-two years ago
The gratitude I feel inside is more than most will know
The struggles of a childhood, marred by health’s bitter sword
Ceased on the day we celebrate the Rebirth of Our Lord.
