The Christmas Flower

When I look at the poinsettia flower

With its color such a bright shade of red

I think of Jesus Christ, our savior

And of his precious blood that was shed

When you look at the poinsettias' petals

Each one is shaped like a tear

It helps us to understand that Jesus came here to teach us

If we have faith in God, we have nothing to fear

The stem of the flower looks strong

But it is weak

It reminds us of how Jesus taught love

And that the earth will be inherited by the meek

And then there are the green leaves

So broad and so bold

They help us to remember that Christs' story

Is the greatest one ever told.
