1. Easter’s Bunny
“With a hip and a hop— Easter bunny won’t you stop, At my house to hide some yummy little eggs. Then you’ll jump out and run – Down the street for some fun, Zippity quick on your fuzzy, furry legs. To hide treats for the others – Boys and girls –even mothers, Treats galore packed in baskets and bright bags!” — Leanne Guenther
2. Egg Hunt
“She walked among the daffodils, Eyes piercing. Somewhere there was a treasure Hidden within the yellow sea; And there it was, A silvery slip of oval goodness Encasing a sweet wonder Her fingertips could barely free From its grasp. Treasure found, she added it to The basket filled with other such wonders, A secret smile spreading across her face.” —Julie Craig
3. Jelly Bean Poem
“Red is for the blood He gave. Green is for the grass He made. Yellow is for the sunflowers so bright. Black is for the dark of night. White is for the grace He gave. Orange is for the sun He made. Purple is for the hours of sorrow. Pink is for our new tomorrow. A bag full of jelly beans, colorful and sweet. It’s a prayer, a promise, and a child’s treat.” –Anonymous

The kids will hunt for easter eggs, And have alot of fun, And on this beautiful spring day, We’ll all be out in the sun.

6. The Easter Basket
“There was a knock at the door I went to answer finding no one there but on the step was a beautiful basket ribbons with all the colors of the rainbow I took it inside and set in on the table it was filled with jelly beans and chocolate eggs and candy bunnies wrapped in pretty colored wrappers There was green and pink plastic grass that engulfed the contents, at the very bottom there was a note I come to you this special day not really from the Easter Bunny but rather from a secret admirer who happened to noticed that you needed something to make you smile I tried to think of who this could have come from but for the life of me could not figure it out, but as I gobbled up the goodies inside I found myself traveling back to days so long ago when I was a little girl and how excited that knock upon the door or door bell ringing would be, opening up to find that special Easter Basket, just for me. So I thank you, Easter Bunny who did not give his name, for you brought this heart of mine not only a smile but a memory of such sweeter days. Such a simple little Easter Basket, yet so powerful your effect on me…before you arrived at my door, I did not think anyone would be so kind to remember me in this magical way anymore. —Lorrie Salvetti
7. On Easter Day
“On Easter Day the lilies bloom, Triumphant, risen from their tomb; Their bulbs have undergone rebirth, Born from the silence of the earth Symbolically, to tell all men That Christ, the Saviour, lives again. The angels, pure and white as they, Have come and rolled the stone away And with the lifting of the stone, The shadow of the cross is gone!” —June Masters Bacher
8. Easter Love
On Easter we celebrate love, love coming from heaven, love blanketing the earth in a transforming embrace; unique and infinite love, giving more than we can imagine for us, to cleanse our sin, a perfect sacrifice, lamb of god, the walking, talking word. He is teacher, role model, friend, this God in human form, dying, then rising from the dead, proving all who believe will also rise to have eternal life, with Him, Lord of all. Oh, Happy, Happy Easter! —Joanna Fuchs
9. Hop and Stop
The first little rabbit went hop, hop, hop. I said to the first rabbit, “Stop, stop, stop!” The second little rabbit went run, run, run. I said to the second rabbit, “Fun, fun, fun!” The third little rabbit went thump, thump, thump. I said to the third rabbit, “Jump, jump, jump!” The fourth little rabbit went sniff, sniff, snuff. I said to the fourth rabbit, “That is enough!” The fifth little rabbit went creep, creep, creep. I said to the fifth rabbit, “It’s time to sleep!” —Anonymous
10. Easter Lillies
“Easter lilies! Can you hear What they whisper, low and clear? In dewy fragrance they unfold Their splendor sweet, their snow and gold. Every beauty-breathing bell News of heaven has to tell. Listen to their mystic voice. Hear, oh mortal, and rejoice! Hark, their soft and heavenly chime! Christ is risen for all time!” —Celia Laighton Thaxter
11. Easter Bunny
In memory of all the bunnies we couldn’t save. “I remember Easter Sunday It was colorful and fun The new life that I’d begun In my new cage. I was just a little thing When they brought me from the store And they put me on the floor In my cage. They would take me out to play Love and pet me all the time Then at day’s end I would climb In my cage. But as days and weeks went by I saw less of them it seemed Of their loving touch I dreamed In my cage. In the night outside their house I felt sad and so neglected Often scared and unprotected In my cage. In the dry or rainy weather Sometimes hotter sometimes colder I just sat there growing older In my cage. The cat and dog raced by me Playing with each other only While I sat there feeling lonely In my cage. Upon the fresh green grass Children skipped and laughed all day I could only watch them play From my cage. They used to take me out And let me scamper in the sun I no longer get to run In my cage. Once a cute and cuddly bunny Like a little ball of cotton Now I’m grown up and forgotten In my cage. I don’t know what went wrong At the home I did inhabit I just grew to be a rabbit In my cage. But they’ve brought me to the pound I was once loved and enjoyed Now I wait to be destroyed In my cage.” —Mary Brandolino
12. His Love
“God sent His Son to take the punishment For all the thoughtless, sinful things we do; Jesus gave his life because He loves us; His love is boundless, sweet, forever true. On Easter morn He showed He is our Savior; His resurrection proves He is our Lord. That is why we tell you, “Happy Easter!” He secured our heavenly reward!” —Joanna Fuchs
13. Chocolate Easter Bunny

15. Sweet Truth Of Easter
“These candies tell a story the best news you’ll ever hear. It’s about Jesus dying on the cross so that we could be brought near. So hold them and turn them and you will see… the “M” become a “W”an “E” and then a “3” The “E” stands for… Easter…. God’s everlasting love and His eternal plan. It reminds us of the cross and the way God rescued sinful man The “3” represent the 3 days Jesus spent in the grave…. By His death, His children He did save The “M” reminds us of the mercy the Messiah showed as He died in our place. and the miracle of the resurrection so we can see Him face to face. The “W” reminds us… that He alone is worthy of our worship and praise and calls us to be His witnesses around the world for all of our days.” —Bethany Tapp
