This is the first Easter <br />No candy baskets will be here <br />But we had so many baskets <br />Each and every year. <br /> <br />The kids are older now <br />Candy they don’t want anymore <br />So this Easter the baskets sit empty <br />Behind the closet door. <br /> <br />Somehow I want the Easter Bunny here <br />Want those baskets filled with eggs so bright <br />But my teens want to be healthier <br />So they make sure that they eat right. <br /> <br />They forfeit sugar and junk <br />No more Peeps or a big chocolate bunny <br />But being without Easter Baskets on Easter <br />Seems to be very odd and funny. <br /> <br />So I am putting the word out <br />To the Easter Bunny in my town <br />That I don’t think the teens will mind <br />If you decide to come around. <br /> <br />Maybe you could leave some health bars <br />Perhaps some fruit and veggies too <br />And maybe you could put some books in there <br />Those things could still say “I love you”.<br /><br />Connie Webb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-healthier-easter/
