Poem:

LITTLE JELLY BEANS

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true
A tale of our Father's love
Just for me and you.

Green is for the waving palms
Blue is for the skies above
Brown is for the soft earth where people sat hearing of His love
A Speckled bean for fish and sand
Red for precious wine, and
Black is for the sin He washed from your soul and mine.
Purple's for the sadness of His family and friends, and
White is for the glory of the day He rose again

Now you've heard the story
You know what each color means
The story of our Father's love
Told to you by jelly beans.

These jelly beans you hold are very yummy
sharing something for the soul
And something for the tummy.
