Candy Cane Poem

It's just a little Christmas treat,
but also (did you know?)

It represents our Savior

born so long ago.

The shape is like a "J"

to symbolize His name.

The white is for His life,

Holy, without blame.

And the stripe of red

is for His blood

so pure and freely given

that we might spend eternity

with our Lord in heaven.



ANOTHER VERSION:

A significant symbol of Christmas
Is the Simple Candy Cane.
It's shape is the crook of the Shepherd
One of the first who came.
The lively peppermint flavor is
The regal gift of spice.
The White is Jesus' purity.
The Red is sacrifice.
The narrow stripes are friendship.
And the nearness of his love.
Eternal, Sweet Compassion
A gift from God above.
The Candy Cane reminds us all
of how much God cared.
And like His Christmas gift to use
It's meant to be broken and shared.
