On Easter Morning, we have been distressed
to make sure all the children have been dressed
in time for Church, and in their Sunday best.
Christ's followers must have been very stressed
after the trauma of Friday's dejection---
their Lord tortured and slain at the world's rejection,
and not sure of these tales of Resurrection.

Author's Notes/Comments:
The poem was inspired by comparing our minor distresses on Easter morning to the believing disciples' major distress and confusion on the First Easter morning. In the last line, "tales" is used to describe what the account must have seemed to them, on that day. With hindsight, we who believe know that the tales were, indeed, absolute facts.
