MY EASTER BASKET
“I have a basket, it’s for Easter.”
“What’s in the basket?”
Please, tell me.”
“Paska, babka, cheese and butter,
Ham, horseradish and kovbaska.
With some onion and beet relish,
A peeled egg and coloured ones.
And an Easter Egg!
We are going to light a candle,
Go to church and have it blessed,
And together we will sing out.
Christ has Risen!
Indeed He has Risen.”
