The Legend of the Sand Dollar
There's
a pretty little legend, that i would like to tell.
Of
the birth and death of Jesus, Found in this lowly shell.
If
you examine one closely, You'll see that you find here.
Four
nail holes and a fifth one, Made by a Roman's spear.
On
one side the easter lily, Its center is the star.
That
appeared unto the shepherds, And led them from afar.
The
Christmas painsettia, Etched on the other side.
Reminds
us of His birthday, Our Happy Christmastide.
Now
break the center open, And here you will release.
The
five white doves awaiting, to spread Good will and Peace.
The
simple little symbol, Christ left for you and me.
To
help us spread His Gospel, Through all eternity. Carman and Casey
(Hope
to find a picture of a sand dollar to add)
