Jelly Beans

My precious granddaughter just loves jelly beans.
Here is a little poem I have had for years.
A Jellybean Prayer
Red is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for the sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night,
Black is for the sins we made,
White (white) is for the grace He gave
Purple is for the hour of sorrow,
Pink (pink) is for a new tomorrow.
A bag of jellybeans, colorful and sweet,
is a promise, and a loved one's treat.
Jellybeans -we cannot think of a little Easter basket without them. They brighten the little green grass in the little spring colored baskets and give it a special touch.
