Dear God,

Let's face it--
I blew it this year.

I went all out for candy and glitter for the girl
and got nowhere with you. The Easter Bunny
leaving his warren
to dispense candy and easy smiles
is no match for you and your tomb
and this nourishment
about which I know nothing.

We tell our kids that:
a) it's healthy food that builds you up &
b) too much candy makes you puke.
And then but c) I ate junk food all day anyway.

Because, as you know, there are things I want to avoid.

And candy is not one of them.

Today was the day I went to church
and they talked about how you love us
even though we don't deserve it,
which was good because
today was the day I really needed it to be true.
