I loved the Easter Parade in New York City
There were balloons of Popeye The Sailor
Mickey Mouse and all the cartoon characters
Cotton candy and caramel apples
The shops had real bunny rabbits and little yellow ducks
The chocolate, melt in your mouth
As I watched the parade I saw
Ladies beautifully dressed, with Easter Bonnets
It was hard to pick the best one
As they all were a starlight from heaven
There were games to play and gifts to win
All the traffic stopped to watch the fun
There was always a big crowd
So happy to see everyone
The shoes were the latest style
I always loved Easter more than Christmas
For an Easter Parade means hope
The King of kings has risen
We are saved, washed clean from our sins
Jesus walks among us all the time
We are free because Jesus went to the cross
To save mankind
Linda Ann Henry
