Easter Must Be Near Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

Easter Must Be Near



When Parson Ike’s preaching improves,
And choirs’ choruses in their room,
And the parishioners fill the pews,
And Don’s Dogwood blossoms bloom,
When lovely lilies grace the hall.
Then the message is heard by all,
He lives! He lives!
New life He gives,
Then Easter must be close at hand.

When they worship in early light
And gather around earthly graves,
And praise the resurrection sight,
And all may come, for Jesus saves,
When hearts are open to His call.
Then the message is heard by all,
He lives! He lives!
New life He gives,
Then Easter must be close at hand.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I adapted this poetic style from a poem I read a while back. I'm sorry, but I did not have the poet's name or the poem title handy. I hope you enjoy it.

As I travel and notice these crosses on the hillside, I am comforted by the powerful message they tell. I have often taken them for granted and that is my mistake. I thank God for those responsible for placing them there for a memorial for all of us.

As I pondered the empty cross I could not help but rejoice at what it symbolizes, not only to Christians, but to the whole world.

'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'

Thank God, Jesus is not on the cross, He is risen! He lives!
Amen and hallelujah!
