      The Candy Cane Poem

      Look at the Candy Cane
      What do you see?
      Stripes that are red
      Like the blood shed for me
      White is for my Savior
      Who’s sinless and pure!
      “J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!
      Turn it around
      And a staff you will see
      Jesus my shepherd
      Was born for Me!
