EASTER

Somebody died for us,

they claim and find it comforting:

Somebody loved us so much

that they died for us!

Not since our parents died,

has there been a person alive

who would die for us.

We matter, we matter

so much that someone

two thousand years ago

died for our sake.

But that someone

rose from the dead

and lives forever,

unlike our parents.

Our parents who were ready

to die for us, and who

did let their other dreams die

for our sake,

our parents dead

shall not rise. There

is no Resurrection for them,

only the grave.

It is them we truly want,

returned to us,

but denied that joy

which would unite

adult and child,

we look at a cross

and an empty grave,

imagine that that somebody

will be a replacement,

somebody who loves us

like only our

parents have.
