 
Let me introduce myself
Peter Rabbit is my name.
I’m no different than most bunnys
I look just like and feel the same.
Yet I guess I’m kinda special
In a celebrated sort of way
I was made the Easter Rabbit
To make kids smile on Easter Day
Don’t really know why I was chosen
Just why I was the Good Lord’s choice.
I think He liked my hip and hop
Maybe liked my bunny voice.
And, of course, my ears are long
I could hear Him plainly say
"Let’s plan some candy for the kids
To celebrate this special day.
And let’s assemble lots of eggs
Eggs are symbols of new life
Let’s be colorful and dye them
Maybe dip them once or twice.
You see, I am the Resurrection
I am the Reason for this day
But let’s add a little fun stuff
So the little ones can eat and play.
Now some may think this isn’t right
But it’s part of the celebration
It really doesn’t take away from
Easter prayers and meditation
Little children know I’m real
And that you’re just a fantasy
It’s all in fun… for Moms and Dads
Have told them about Me."
So here I am, doing my thing
Then I’ll be on my way.
I’m Peter Rabbit and may I wish
You all a Happy Easter Day.
