The Ledgend of the Sand Dollar

 

There is a pretty little ledgend that I would like to tell

of the birth and death of Jeasus

found in this lowly shell.

 

If you examine closely, you will see that you find here

four nail holes and a fifth one,

made by a Roman's spear.

 

One side the Easter lilly,its center is the star,that appeared

unto shepherds and lead

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 here 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.

 

Walking along the beach's of Oregon where we have just returned, we were so thrilled to find several of these sand dollars to bring home.
