More Easter poetry

Gazing at the wonder of the Cross

Abundant grace

Golden light on dew-kissed roses

Heralding the break of day

Cooing doves, at morn’s awakening

Dusty hooves of foals at play

Wheat fields, like a tawny ocean

Rippling in the wind’s caress

Dancing streams, their spray asparkle

Pensive pools in quiet rest

Air perfumed with scent of jasmine

Wind charm’s soft melodious ring

Dappled earth through filtered sunlight

Gamboling lambs at start of spring

Miracle of baby’s birthing

Brand new breath, a lusty cry

Old man resting, children’s chatter

Puff balls in a dreamy sky

Cells and segments of an orange

Neatly packed with tasty bliss

Warm embrace of two young lovers

Tenderness of mother’s kiss

These and countless other blessings

Are bestowed on us each day

Pointing us to God’s compassion

Showing us His love-filled way

He surrounds us with His beauty

Fills our souls with untold wealth

Lifting them from deep depression

Into happiness and health

Yet His greatest gift of goodness

Starts its journey steeped in death

Wounded Saviour hanging, dripping

Blood for us with His last breath

Cursed that he might buy our healing

‘Tombed to fight for all our souls

Breaking forth in glorious victory

Empty grave, and men made whole.

What a song our hearts are singing

Let the church bells toll and toll

Jesus is our Lord and Saviour

‘Tis indeed well with my soul.
