the lord is risen! alleluia!

i always enjoy poems by helen steiner rice. i had used this poem for our parish notice board and also for our penang diocese website, and i’m going to use it here too as i love this poem very much and find it full of meaning.

‘Easter Reflections’
by Helen Steiner Rice.

With OUR EYES we see
The beauty of Easter
as the earth awakens once more…

With OUR EARS we hear
The birds sing sweetly
to tell us Spring again is here…

With OUR HANDS we pick
the golden daffodils
and the fragrant hyacinths…

But only with OUR HEARTS
can we feel the miracle of God’s love
which redeems all men…

And only with OUR SOUL
can we make our ‘pilgrimage to God’
and inherit His Easter gift of
ETERNAL LIFE.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL CHRISTIANS
