by Recital Vinylist

She is risen
She has risen indeed..
And giveth to her body those small favors that allow her to be comfortable in her own skin..
the lemon..the tea…the prozac
the ritual warm washcloth to soothe the brow
So that she may make everyone else’s skin comfortable..
bellies fed, arguments defused.
She spits on her finger to wipe away the smudge from the face
of a child otherwise perfect in the little Sunday clothes.
Bonnets tied neatly at the chin
Clip-on ties straightened, shoes shined…
Till the sweat on her brow returns again.
She is mom.
She is every woman
She is you.
And she does not complain..

"He is Risen!"
"He is Risen Indeed!
"Hi Mom!"
How this joyous day finds me somehow forlorn
not to share these glad tidings with her
after decades of ritual.
Who will make the Easter basket appear at the foot of my bed,so that I may continue to believe for one more year?
Where is my fli-bak paddle?
Why now do I suddenly crave the urge to ransack the backyard
to find the eggs she could not hide for me this time?
I thought I had forgotten.
I look in the mirror, perplexed.
And on my face…a smudge..

She is risen..
She is risen indeed..
And sitteth on the right hand of her father
And on the left hand of my father..
She is in love’s care.
Whole..happy..perfect..like the children she raised
Her eyes dancing with glee
as she watches ‘The Bells of St. Mary’s’ for the last time..
and for eternity
I look into heaven and wave…she waves back.
The legacy of love..
This Woman’s Work.

Just beautiful.

You are a good son.

I was a tom boy growing up and I remember one Easter having to wear the most frilly yellow Easter dress and petticoat and bonnet. Oh how my twin brother teased me!
Haha! I would have paid dearly to see him have to wear that outfit, but never got the chance!

My grandmother made me one of those frilly dresses with a petticoat. I only wore it a couple times and that was just for my grandmother. I hated it. My brother would call it my sissy dress. It certainly was a sissy dress.

I got my revenge. One year my mother added a white pinafore and dressed my brother as Alice in Wonderland for Halloween. He also wore a long blond wig and a hair bow. He was such a cute Alice. I told him that he looked better in the dress than I did.

i`m far from artistic, but would still like something more suiting for my cheeky fella, please any designs greatly recieved.

quite simply decorate a baseball cap with the chicks and mini eggs all the boys in my little girls school wear them and they are a big hit.
good luck…

Walk softly and carry a big carrot
Everyone needs a friend who is all ears
There’s no such thing as too much candy
All work and no play can make you a basket case
A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention
Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day
Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits
Some body parts should be floppy
Keep your paws off other people’s jellybeans
Good things come in small sugarcoated packages
The grass is always greener in someone else’s basket
An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare
To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell
The best things in life are still sweet and gooey

Keep your paws off other people’s jellybeans.

lmao, luff it.

Somewhere in the movie she gets scarlett fever. i’m not sure what else happens. it would have been in the late 80’s or early 90’s.

it was i believe produced directly for video.
and i know it’s not the veleventeen rabbit.
thanks, but it wasn’t any of those.

I know this move was produced between the late 1980’s (like 1989) and early 1990’s and was a direct to video release.

They have 2 pages of Easter DVD movies at Target, maybe it’s one of these: http://www.target.com/b/ref=in_se_pagelist/189-8493032-3007713?ie=UTF8&node=1084454&pricerange=&index=dvd&field-browse=1084454&rank=pmrank&viewID=leaf&field-pricebin=&store=DVD&rh=&page=1&fromBrowse=1

some animated, some live actors…

Whoever caught the bunny got a big chocolate egg.

We also used to have an Easter Bonnet Parade where the one with the best bonnet would win. Did you have this?
There was this girl that always won the Bonnet Parade every year, her name was Carrie, and she only won because her mum used to buy the hats! We were actually supposed to make them and not buy them. I really hated her. I did win once, I made a punk style top hat and the teachers loved it (I must have looked weird – I was only 6 and I looked like a mad punk/goth nobleman – I wore a tailcoat with it too).

Hahahaha.. we had an easter hat parade too….. i was soo close to winning one year but.. CHLOE, who got her mum to make her hat, won. Injustice!!!
