The Easter gift: age 15

By Sally Ann Houston

This time

of year has come

again in early spring

when life is new to look

upon all you have given me

and to tell how much that I

love you. I do not have a

basket of colorful eggs.

I am not a soft white Easter bunny. I can never give you what you have given me. All the billionaires in the world don’t have

enough money. The most precious

gift that I can give is something of

myself to show I care. So I give you

these memories in expression of my

love, something we shall always share.
