Candy Cane Poem

A significant symbol of Christmas
Is the Simple Candy Cane.
Its 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 selfless brotherly love.
Eternal, sweet compassion,
A gift from God above.
The Candy Cane reminds us all;
of how much our Father cared.
He sent his Son, Jesus Christ
The greatest gift declared.
