The Memories of Colored Easter Eggs

The March 20, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
What do colored Easter eggs make you think of?

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs,
laying in a woven straw basket
on green faux grass
around a chocolate Easter bunny,
with tiny candy eggs scattered throughout.

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs...
eggs of red, blue, yellow, and orange;
eggs that Grandma Mary helped us color
on the eve of Easter.

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs
scattered in an airport field
across from my Grandparent's house;
eggs that we searched for on Saturday afternoon,
as we anticipated
Easter Sunday's feast.

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs,
of waking up on Easter morning
to find the Easter baskets
that Grandpa and Grandma
had place on the kitchen table
after we had gone to sleep
on Saturday night.

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs;
the memories of peeling
eggs for breakfast
to eat with the bacon, toast, orange juice, and milk
Grandma fixed for us.

These are the memories of colored Easter eggs;
of returning from Easter Sunday services
to eat our chocolate bunnies,
with another cold glass of milk.
