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
