Reflection: A Poem for Easter by Chad Hershberger Hundreds of years ago, after hanging on a tree Anchored in a tomb with no one there to see. People came to pay respects and add spices to his form Promises of resurrection were so far from the norm. “Yo! Do you not be afraid, your Jesus is not here!” Everyone was so surprised, they trembled with great fear. Announcing the angel’s news was now their Sunday quest Surrounded by all the disciples, the women told their friends the rest Then Jesus came to them, he said don’t be afraid Everyone go forth from here- there’s disciples to me made! Resurrection day, let’s celebrate with great joy. Jesus is risen! Oh boy, oh boy!
