When I was a little girl,
Easter was filled with many family traditions.
On Good Friday morning we would color eggs.
We shared the story of the Last Supper
and sad trial and torture of Jesus.
~~~~
My Mom and Aunties would be baking
and cooking all the Easter specialties.
We kept silent and did not speak
In the afternoon, we would go to church.
In silence we would pray during
the three hours of the Crucifixion of Jesus.

Saturday morning we would bring our baskets filled
with the Easter foods to Church to be blessed.
This was our tradition, we all looked forward to it!
The Lenten fasting was now over.
The afternoon would be a wonderful treat,
tasting all the special Easter foods.

There were Easter Sunrise services in all the Churches.
The bells would be ringing...Rejoice..He Has Risen!
We would look for our baskets of goodies that were
usually in the same place every year! LOL
We enjoyed a breakfast of the magic eggs we colored,
with a few jelly beans and chocolates added in. LOL

Mom always had lovely Easter outfits for all four of us...
She often made the pretty dresses for my sister and me.
My Dad was so proud of all of us!
We would walk down the avenue
greeting neighbors on our way to Church.
Our Church was always filled with lilies...
I can still see the lovely flowers adorning
the Altar and hear the joyful music
of the Choir singing in celebration!
How beautiful it was!

(verse)
Never saw you look quite so pretty before.
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, what´s more.
I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning,
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for:

(chorus)
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
You´ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I´ll be all in clover, and when they look you over
I´ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you´ll find that you´re in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I´m taking to the Easter Parade.

In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
I´ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
You´ll be all in clover, and when they look me over
You´ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you´ll find that you´re in the rotogravure.
Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet
And of the girl you´re taking to the Easter Parade.
