Doctor Grandma

My parents made it fun,

the chocolate and eggs

in a basket beside our bed.

It was second to Christmas in our house.

We colored eggs the day before,

a family time of celebrating

colors, design, new creations,

a custom from Mesopotamia,

where Christians dyed eggs the color RED,

to symbolize the blood of Jesus.

There is also the symbol of the EGG,

Springtime, rebirth, new beginnings,

the Pagan goddess, Eostre, worshipped the Sun,

a time of warmth, the end of Winter,

a turning of the Earth.

I don’t mind connections to

ancient times,

Our humanness unites us,,

Christians, take notice, the renewal of faith,

the coming of Christ, return of the Spirit,

the Message reborn again, and again,

the Sun rises on the horizon

at a different point from yesterday,

the same Sun, the only One,

who created us all from dust.
