AN EASTER STORY
 

The Easter Story is overwhelming for a small child,

This can be very confusing, after awhile,

In Kindergarten class, she learned all about,

A Christmas Celebration...a babe in a manger, who....

Seemed to coincide, with the things she already knew,

Then...came the Easter Story, about death and a cross,

Which gave her concern, about this horrible loss!

She rushed home from school and said to me,

"Mommy!! They've killed the little baby!!"

Somehow, the years between these two events,

Didn't quite register and death seemed too immense!

I explained very carefully, so she might understand, now..

But....I'm not so sure, that the Easter Story is how,

A small child should learn about cruel, human deeds,

Best to mature, before planting these "seeds"!!
