Legend of the Sand Dollar

      There's a beautiful little legend
      That I would like to tell
      Of the birth and death of Jesus
      Found in this lovely shell.

      If you examine closely,
      You'll see that you will 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 Wise Men
      And led them from afar.

      The Christmas poinsettia
      Etched on the other side
      Reminds us of His birthday,
      Our happy Christmastide.

      Now break the center open
      And then 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!
