Poezie Twas the Night Before Easter!

'Twas the night before Easter on Internet Lane;

From New York, to Russia, spring Holidaze reigned!

Computers were linking from Disney to space;

And folks were resolving the Easter Egg case!



The kids were entranced by a techno-theme,

While visions of dinos appeared on the screen!

And Mom dyed the eggs, while I searched the Net,

For flowers to send her--or in trouble I'd get!!



When swiftly, my Mac began such a clatter,

The mouse shrieked in horror, "MS Explorer", what's the matter!"

Away to my window, I jumped with great speed;

A break for sore eyes, I surely did need!



I saw flowers of spring beginning to bloom,

I welcomed the view from my computer room!

When what to my wondering eyes, did I see,

But a Stranger stooped low, on bended knee.



With a quick glance I knew 'twas a backflash of time,

I envisioned the form of my Savior Divine.

More rapid than eagles, my memory raced,

To another time and another place.



Where Christ, Lord of all, called each one by name--

"Follow Me," was His Word, and they willingly came.

They watched Him perform deeds of wondrous love;

They knew His power came from God above.



Yet we (you and me, folks!) just led him to die;

In the dark of a tomb our Savior did lie.

But then in another flash of great power,

I saw Him arise--death conquered that hour!



He was robed all in white, with radiant glow;

He stood in great splendor, this Savior I know.

His eyes with loving compassion shown,

I knew in that moment I need ne'er be alone.



His hands were outstretched as this One bid me come;

The work of redemption forever done.

I stood there in silence, in humble awe,

As the Reason of Easter I now clearly saw.



Then quickly as the scenes had appeared,

They faded--I felt not one moment of fear.

I bowed low in worship; earth's sight now so dim;

I had seen Easter's meaning; I had been there with Him.



As I saw Him, with faith's eyes, lifted above,

The night before Easter was filled with pure love.

And I heard him exclaim as He rose out of sight,

"A Blessed Easter to all! I have conquered your night!"
