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

GREEN is for the waving palms.
YELLOW is for the sun 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 you soul and mine. 

PURPLE'S for the sadness of 
His family and His friends,
WHITE is for the glory of 
The Day HE rose again. 

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

So every morning take a bean 
They're really very yummy.
Something for the soul, you see 
And something for the tummy.

The Jelly Bean Poem

A CRAFT ON THE MESSAGES OF EASTER

Red is for the blood He gave.
Green is for the grass He made.
Yellow is for the sunflowers so bright.
Black is for the dark of night.
White is for the grace He gave.
Orange is for the sun He made.
Purple is for the hours of sorrow.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.
A bag full of jelly beans,
colorful and sweet.
It’s a prayer, a promise,
and a child’s treat.
