The Jelly Bean Poem — Easter Colors With a Message
Red is for the blood He gave,
Green is for the grass He made,
Yellow is for His sun so bright,
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins we made,
White is for the grace He gave,
Purple is for His hours of sorrow,
Pink is for our new tomorrow.
May every day be Easter in your heart.
May the joy you feel on Easter morning
Be the joy of each day of your life.
