For Easter

(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell



"Whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die"
John points out Jesus said.
The Master said it, not I;
Jesus' words, not mine.
And how they do put
us in touch--here and now--
with things most divine.
And that word "liveth"
to me shows that I must
put into practice our Saviour's
teachings in daily life.
What purpose this does
give to me, to you.
It takes out of things
the gloom and sigh,
and brings instead
such incentive and joy;
makes our spirits soar,
and spreads before us
an adventure in living
that only gets better,
one that will go on--
just think about this,
dear readers everywhere--
FOREVERMORE.
