We break the bread remembering
He gave His body for our sin,
nailed to a cross of rough hewn wood
vanquished all evil saved the good,
in drinking wine we do confirm
belief in Christ from Whom we learn,
He shed His blood so we might live
love one another and forgive.
Author notes
When Easter comes round I don't think of Easter eggs.

This is short and effective. It reminds me of Elizabeth I's verse about the Eucharist:
Twas God the Word that spake it;
He took the bread and brake it;
and what the Word did make it
that I believe, and take it.
This is the kernel of Christian faith, I am happy to see a new poem so well written.

Simple. Pure. Beautiful.
A true example of when less is MORE.
What more could one want in an Easter poem? You have said it all.
Beautifully done. I loved this. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

This poem stands strong and true.
What I love about this is its simplicity, yet it tells the reader exactly why Christ died for all of us.
May your faith in God never falter (:
Thanks and best of luck
