An Unusual Egg – (A Lenten Poem)

Once upon a time there was a colorful egg
Who was quite unusual for it had legs.
From a crack in its shell, it could see
Something special was happening.

For many days the world seemed dead
When bursting forth came flowers of red.
Out in the meadow the sheep were grazing,
When the egg saw a little lamb, amazing!

Looking up into a clear blue sky,
The colorful egg saw a butterfly.
Standing in awe of God’s creation,
The egg began to feel a strange sensation.

Snap, crack, jiggle and whop
Out of the shell, a head did pop.
Shake and twist and just as quick,
The egg became a baby chick.

Easter gives hope with new life all around
So open your hearts and love will be found.
