Analysis of When Easter Comes



On Easter day most Christians pray
To thank our God for life.
And as they raise their hands to praise,
Some do so through their strife!

God loves to hear us through each year,
Not just on Easter or
When Christmas day comes back our way.
Our prayers should be more!

Try hard to "see" what life will be
When heaven is your view.
The Lord above will show His love
Each time that He sees you!
