Jesus

He Is Risen!

He is risen
He died to free us from our sins
On that painful cross
To prove that someone who had done
Nothing wrong
Cared about everyone
And would Give his life
To show that sins can vanish
Because of what Jesus did for us
On this Easter day
We must remember
That He rose on that day
In the cave
The people found
Nothing
Emptyness
He is gone
But, no
He is not gone,
He is risen
You shall see him again
"Do not fret," the disiples of God said
"He is here."
"He is alive."
"He is risen."

Happy Easter

First Christmas

By Meghan Dempsey
Rice Memorial High School, Grade 9

She walks along the darkened path,
Shiv’ring through thin fibers.
Her breathing hastens to heavy gasps
That show the foggy warmth
Evaporating between each breath.

She reaches for the swelling midriff,
And looks up at the man before her,
Desperation and need pleading in dark eyes.
