In such sweet innocence they scour soft ground,
in giggles and gasps searching for those huge footprints.
Shouts of conviction as one hunter claims prize of discovery,
in awe all gather to follow to trail's end.
Like gold at the end of rainbow, squeals of delight ring through innocent air, as precious chocolate treasure's are finally commandeered.
Yet covetousness for almighty dollar presses delete button in naivety's mind,
as natural beauty of childhood is diminished
and sparkling eyes dim.
Author notes
6. Of course love the Easter Bunny, roasted and stuff with a nice side dish of jelly beans and chocolate.
