Easter

Hi there, Mr. God. I'm so 'cited!
Easter is almost here and
I get to find the Easter eggs
The bunny hided.

I really know that bunnies
Don't lay eggs. (giggle) That's funny.
What I don't know is, why does the momma chick
Give her eggs to the little bunny?

Daddy was a tellin' me 'bout Jesus
And 'bout dyin' on the cross, one day,
And how, on that Sunday mornin',
He rolled the stone away.

He was really strong, I bet'cha,
'Cause the soldiers put it there.
But then, Jesus came out all brand new and clean,
And was walkin' in the garden, there.

Daddy showed me a picture
How he died. It made me cry.
I don't un'erstand why, but daddy says,
"And then, He just went up in the sky."

And now, He's back home, with you,
And I bet'cha you're glad He's home, and
Someday, I'm comin' by your house to live.
Daddy says the Bible tells me how.

I can't read yet, Mr. God.
But, I can print my name a bit.
Daddy says you gotta a great big book
And I want to put my name in it ...

So as I can live up there.
I need to print a little better, though.
I don't want to mess up your book.
I want to write it good, so as you will know.

Daddy says I can ask Jesus to take my sin away.
So, I'm askin', right now, Mr. God, please, Sir,
I'm sorry I was born to be bad. But, momma says
She is glad you gave me to her.

Momma says you carved my name
In Jesus' hand, that day. So,
When I get to your house, I'm gonna kiss him
And love Him. That's what I want to say.

Well, thank you, dear Jesus, for all you do for me
And thanks for letting me talk to your daddy.
He's really nice, like you.
So, have a Happy Easter, from little Andy.

And, o yeah!
Thanks for the pretty flowers, today.
Bye, for now, Mr. God.
Happy Easter
From the folks at
Little Andy's Place
