We volunteered at the local school during recess with each little one.

Each day we watched them play and laugh while they were having fun.

We got to know the parents who belonged to each precious girl and boy.

They were kind and thankful as we watched over them and filled their hearts with joy.

One Easter time, we asked our little friends to share …

an afternoon at our home with their parents very near.

I was busy making each Easter basket filled with a chocolate bunny,

colored eggs, and jelly beans to fill their little tummy.

Before we gave them root beer floats and foods they could not eat …

we always asked their mom and dad if some little ones had allergies to beat.

Our arrangements with our Easter baskets were special for each and every one.

We were happy to see their smiling faces because they were having fun.

Remember your little ones and share happiness and joy.

This was our very special time we shared with each little girl and boy.

Happy Easter to all and to all those special holidays throughout our land.
