i genuflect and bow my head;
slip into the pew,
say a prayer and wait.
the church is filled - over filled
with regular
and non-regular worshipers;
it is Easter Sunday.
The altar
surrounded with
white lilies and ribbons
is beautiful
The organist begins to play;
the choir sings
a joyful "Alleluia, Alleluia"
Faces in the crowd
look hopeful, expectant;
ready to celebrate the
one Risen Lord
