EASTER BUNNY SOFT AND WHITE Easter bunny soft and white, Hopping quickly out of sight. Bringing treats and goodies too. I wish I could play with you. Turn around, don t hop away, Maybe you can stay and play! You can feel when spring is nearing by the breeze in the air; It is much warmer than the breeze we used to share. New life sprouts like flowers in full bloom; You can tell when spring is coming because you don t see gloom. You see new life forming all around this creation; This beautiful life reminds me of a great inspiration. The trees grow leaves so birds can make nests; The poor Mama bird will never stop to rest. The grass turns green when the springtime breeze drifts in; All the cubs and bears will come out of their winter dens. The river flows with water so blue; Waiting for someone to swim in it, like you. In the spring, on the prairie, you can watch the horses run; Now you see with the springtime breeze comes a lot of fun! By: Lori Waguespack, 1999
