Easter

 The angel said to the women, at the empty tomb:

"Why are you looking for the living, among the dead?  He is not here.  He is risen! (Luke 24:5,6).  

Ha!  Take that, o death.
You who were our last enemy.
You who are such a thief,
Leaving behind sorrow upon sorrow.

You who plunge the world under
Tsunami waves of heartache.
Overwhelming the souls
Of those who remain rooted in anguish.

You have no grip on me, o death.
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

"Death is swallowed up in victory.  O death where is your victory?  O death where is your sting?"

 (1 Corinthians 15:54,55)

Ha!  Take that, o death!
