Easter is a time of commitment
To ourselves and to the One above
A time to realize all that was sacrificed
A life …that was given out of love
It’s a time to reflect on our own lives
Look to our future and remember where we’ve been
Have we lived life to its full potential?
Have we lived a “good” life or one led by sin?
Day to day…life seems so fleeting
Time passes quickly, the years seem to fly
One would think there is no need to worry
How much damage can be done in this length of time?
But God has determined that we each have a purpose
He gave His Son; He sacrificed His very life
He gave a gift of immeasurable value
He waits to see what we do with our time
Do…we live only for the moment?
Live for ourselves and the ways of the world?
Live a life devoid of true meaning?
In the end unable to determine its worth
Easter is a time of reflection
A time of renewal; a time to make amends
It’s a chance to accept God’s presence in our everyday
A chance to live life…as our Lord intends
It’s a time to live without wasting a moment
In the end having lived life without regret
Knowing ones life has fulfilled its purpose
That the dream of our Lord has been met
Each life is a treasure that God has created
Given freely to this world without debt
With a chance to become rich beyond measure
If in daily life our Lord we would not forget
Our lives in this world can make a difference
Can change the world for the better; even as one
If we each use the blessings God has given
This world may reach what it was intended to become
