My Easter Poem for 2018 I wrote and entered in Poetry Soup's "Easter - 2018" Contest, asking for a poem about Easter with a contemporary theme...

"Easter, THEE Sacrifice"

Easter will again be here and very soon,
But Easter brings sadness I cannot seem to prune.
After my Mother left, Easter's not the same
Since our Lord, to bring her home, called upon her name.

Easter this year in two thousand and eighteen
Will be even harder, I cannot contravene.
For my little girl, who's not so little any more
Will spend this Easter far away, on a distant shore.

So many memories of Easter though, will decorate my brain,
As I turn back the clock, letting all share the reign.
All the Easter baskets and the Easter hunts so fun,
Each memory I dust off carefully, every precious one.

I'll watch the Ten Commandments, keep our tradition true,
Remembering Easter's true meaning, Jesus is why we do.
When God Sacrificed His Son, what a Sacrifice He made,
For through the Blood of Jesus, our sins for, He paid.

When I think of God being stricken so with profound grief
To watch His Son suffer on the cross forbidden of relief,
This brings to mind surreally the magnitude of pain
I'm unable to comprehend and my tears I can't restrain.

For I think of my daughter and all those overseas,
Who put their lives on the line without guarantees
They'll come home safe and sound when their tour is done
And also, all the families who've lost a dear, loved one.

I know this is not the same but I more so realize
And I am humbled so profoundly as I can't visualize
The cost of God's Sacrifice because God so Loves us all
And to my knees it brings me, for I can only God, extol.

~ Quotes by Artsieladie

Spring

Greetings everyone! ♥

We think of Spring and all the wonders of,
God's Masterpiece of Life with His profound Love.
What else could be greater than what Spring displays
That could humble us more, give God all the praise?
God so Loves us all He gave His only Begotten Son
For our lives to be Eternal, each and every one!

We think we know so much about Love and sacrifice; 
About the meaning of forgiveness and of life, the price,
But in reality we know nothing and realise even less
The magnitude of God's Greatness, only He does possess.

Spring has come; Spring is here,
‘Tis the season, the time of year,
When all across the northern Earth
There’s life renewed, as well new birth.
No season can compare nor can one bring
The splendor of life, like the time of Spring.

Though winter tries to hang around
To keep so cold the frozen ground
For its crystal art and flakes of white,
To be preserved, its wondrous sight,
Spring has sprung in sheer defiance,
Since with life, Spring has alliance.

Mother Nature has rested long,
Quiet’s been the robin’s song
During winter’s hush of crystal down
Draped over life’s dormant brown.
But with nature’s stirring, waking yawning,
Winter fades into Spring’s new dawning.

The Earth is changing, slowly warming,
Like a metamorphosis transforming,
As earth’s frozen cocoon melts away,
For Spring to colour the winter's grey;
Like a canvas just brown and white
In transformation to colours bright.

A brand new world is upon the scene,
Winter’s whitewash now budding green,
As Spring unfolds, the curtain draws
On a frozen wonder as winter thaws
Under the sun's rays. shining stronger
Through daylight hours lingering longer.

Melted, crystal clouds spill their overflow
Onto the waiting, waking Earth just below,
Creating an atmosphere of enchanted mist
That when the sun's warmer rays've kissed,
Spectrums of colours over the Earth, high,
Arc as rainbows in splendor across the sky.

Spring's cleansing rains prepare expecting Earth,
Making it fresh and clean for all coming new birth.
With the dormant stage of winter lost to the past,
A new stage of life's arrived for many months to last.
Everywhere, life is springing up around,
Evolving is a new wonder, one so profound.

The meadows turn a plush and velvet green,
With rainbow dipped flowers added to the scene,
Drawing in the busy bees, offering nectar, sweet,
To make their honey from, for their young to eat.
The forest is a bustling with creatures on its floor
To welcome family newborns, in preparation for.

High among the trees, many birds by the pair
Are building nests anew as their songs fill the air.
All the sleeping trees have awakened too;
Are busy growing foliage, all fresh and new
And the little seedlings all want to try,
Like their parent trees, to reach and touch the sky.

Winter is a wonderland in its own right
With nature in its slumber all dressed in white,
But the wonderland of Spring is one profound,
As nature is awakened with new life all around.
Spring exhibits the greatest show on Earth,
The true essence of life, the miracle of birth.

Thee Master of Creation with His Master Hand,
With His Touch Divine, all across the land;
Thee Master Artist with His Magic Strokes,
With His rainbow palette, new life He invokes
Through His Breath of Life and by His Divine Love
Paints earth in 'living' colour, there is no equal of.

But Spring in all its splendor with miracles abounding,
God's Masterpiece of Life, immeasurably astounding,
Can't compare to God's Love, the Sacrifice He made,
Offered for us His only Son to suffer and be slayed
For our souls to be cleansed of sin by the Blood of His Son,
That we would have Eternal Life, each and every one.

Hoo-ah

Greetings everyone, from Artsieladie! ♥

As we remember the fallen on this Memorial Day,
Who have sacrificed all, with their lives did pay,
So our land can be free, we honour the brave
Who've fought for our freedoms and rights, to save.
To all our soldiers who are presently serving,
Of our honour and respect, you are deserving.
That my daughter's chosen, it makes me proud,
To know she's serving with America's finest crowd!
~ Love, 
Mom ♥
"Hoo-ah!"
