Easter: Why I Do and Don't celebrate
As the sun shines down on a brand new day
I feel myself want to turn away
For when Easter comes
I don't want it to stay.
At first it was just another holiday
A tradition that would fade away
Something simple I could avoid
For it was just a simple holiday.
Then we all realized that "Easter" was not right
And made a big deal over dark and light
But all this commotion
I now don't want to fight.
For everyone else loves this day
But I for myself don't enjoy the melee
For the meaning of Easter
I see every day.
We make a big fuss when Easter comes 'round
But I prefer not to make a sound
I celebrate Easter
'Cuz I know what I've found.
Every day, when I think about Him
And what He did to erase all my sin
I rejoice inside
And my life can begin.
I celebrate Easter everyday
So I don't understand what we do and say
Why we celebrate Easter only once a year
When we should celebrate every day.
I'd prefer if Easter didn't come
All the celebration is rather humdrum
I remember my Lord and what He did for me
And so, instead of Easter, I just wrote a poem.
