The newness of Easter

I wrote this poem during Holy Week and seems to go well with the newness of life that comes with the Easter Season. Hope you enjoy!

A new fascination

On the grass under the sun

Lies a young boy and lion

One and the same he crawls

On hands and knees, open jaws

He lets out a half lion roar

Then charges, always looking forward

I put out my hand

And he puts out his paw

We walk together

Under the sun

We pass all kinds of colors

All seeming new to me

Looking through the eyes

Of a boy, half lion, of three

Each flower is valued

Equally for its color and smell

Many prizes are found

Each step a new story to tell

Everything has a shade of new

And every moment is precious

Looking through newest of eyes

And walking under the sun
