The eggs are all hidden

The children forbidden

To ferret them out

Until the signal is given

When the scramble ensues

We give the little ones clues

You’ve got to make sure

That everybody gets something

Surrounded by smiling

The mood is beguiling

My friends and family

Are joking and laughing

The food is presented

With simple delight

When thе hunting is done

You know I’ll come

Get a bitе

Well, I never expected this

Some kind of perfect bliss

In my yard

I know it will all be

Swept into the past

Just like Easter grass

Now everyone’s leaving

Blowing kisses and waving

We got back inside

It’s time to start

With the cleaning

Baskets and streamers

And chocolate wrappers

Plenty of dishes

And chairs to look after

Once it’s cleaned up

It will be gone

For all time

The light through white birches

The voices like chimes

All we have are the pictures

But cannot get in them

A wall of matte paper

Between today

And what was then

Well, I never expected this

Some kind of perfect bliss

In my yard

I know it will all be

Swept into the past

Just like Easter grass

Just like Easter grass

Just like Easter grass

Just like Easter grass

Just like Easter grass
