That I would like to tell
Of the birth and death of Jesus
Found in this lowly shell.
If you examine closely
You'll see that you find here
Four nail holes and a fifth one
Made by a Roman's spear.
On one side the Easter lily
Its center is the star
That appeared unto the shepherds
And led them from afar.
The Christmas poinsettia
Etched on the other side
Reminds us of His birthday
Our happy Christmas time.
Now break the center open
And here you will release]br]
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.
