Easter Meaning

A recent exchange in the changing room of Littlehampton Swimming and Sport Centre after the usual 38 x 100 metres set, is what started the ball rolling in the direction of the responses left here.
Hope everybody had a wonderful Easter celebration.

Easter Meaning 

Times have changed and memory clearly faded
Gone is every shred of the lessons that were taught
One friend asked why the day is called GOOD Friday
To tell his children as chocolate eggs they sought
Because Christ died for us, say people who still pray
Why isn’t it Bad Friday, the retort came sounding jaded
So what are Bunnies all about? What’s that to do with Jesus?
Without parental teaching belief is all for naught
The scriptures won’t stay clear unaided
And Easter story will not feature in a solemn high day
For folk living their lives this way it very well will please us
The simple connection with rebirth will remain this way
That we are born again in Christ and in a bright light caught
After He dragged that rugged cross in humiliation shaded
