The Candy Cane
A signifant symbol of Christmas
Is the simple candy cane;
Its shape is the crook of a shepherd,
One of the first who came.
The lively peppermint flavor
Is the regal gift of spice;
The white is Jesus' purity,
The red, His 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 just how much God cared;
And, like His Christmas gift to us,
It's meant to be broken and shared.
