Lent
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days. During Lent we are preparing for Easter. We are asked to do 3 things in Lent
- To pray more
- To give up something
- To help those less fortunate
During the weeks of Lent, each of us will do our best to become a better person.
Lent
Lent is like the visitor you’d
Forgotten was coming, and then
She turns up each year, like the daffodils.
“Hello! It’s me- I’m back again!”
She always come on a Wednesday with ashes on her forehead- a sure sign
That as far as my day-to-day living’s concerned
It’s that time of year – spring clean time!
“What’s that? What’s this doing here?
You’d really be better to throw out that lot
And this…. I thought we got rid of it last year!”
Easter Sunday morning she’s gone out that door
Like a bird that just upped and flew
And as I stand and look around me I smile,
‘cos my life is shining like new!
