Someone please explain to me
About the Easter Bunny
I’ve never seen a rabbit lay eggs
I find that rather funny

Yet every year it happens
They’re colorful and bright
A basket full of Easter eggs
That used to be just white

I tried myself to make the eggs
As pretty as can be
But somehow all the colors
Wound up all over me!

So, I’ll leave it to the bunny
As he goes his merry way
And hope he stops at your front door
This blessed Easter day.

Daddy’s Little Girl

Ten little fingers
Ten little toes
A beautiful face
With a cute button nose

As daddy you’ll always be
Baby’s first love
She’s precious, you see
A gift from above

Hold on to that little girl
As long as you can
The time flies by quickly
No wait…another man

Before you know it
You’re walking that aisle
Seems it goes on forever
Mile after mile

You hand her to him
She kisses your cheek
“Thank you, Daddy”
Is all she can speak

She stands with her new love
Her face is aglow
He’s holding her now
And not letting go

As she begins her new life
You wonder if she
Will remember the days
She bounced on your knee

The memories made
It’s all been a whirl
But she’ll always remain
Daddy’s little girl

This cute little rodent
Who scurries around
Has built a new condo
All underground

A million new holes
All over my lawn
He must have been digging
From dusk until dawn

And he found a new lounging spot
Inside my grill
He thinks it’s his deck
Overlooking the hill

He sits there and lazes
He thinks he’s a winner
But he better watch out
Or he’ll end up as dinner

 A golden orb
Illuminating the ebony sky
Peeking playfully
Through the branches of
Still barren trees

Allowing the mind
To let mystery unfold
As the full moon beckons
Those who know its call

Taken For Granted

Taken for granted
The ins and outs
The day to day

Never really stopping
To be thankful, grateful
For all that is given

Focusing only on
What’s taken away
Hoping tomorrow
Holds brighter paths
Cursing the day
When it does not

Eventually realizing
It’s up to you
To change the scope
Of things yet to come
