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 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 poinsettia
Etched on the other side
Reminds us of
His birthday
Our Happy Christmastide.
 Now break the centre open
And here you will release
The five
white doves awaiting
To spread Good Will and Peace.
This simple
little symbol,
Christ left for you and me
To help us spread his
Gospel
Through all
eternity.
