Legend of Florida's "Sand Dollar"
Written on this little sea shell
There is a beautiful story
About the birth and death of Jesus
In all its wondrous glory
His wounds were five
And if you look closely here
You'll see for from the nails
One from a Roman's Spear
There is also the Easter Lily
And in its center a star
One to remind us of His resurrection
The other of shepherds from afar
Also during that season
We speak of Good Will and Peace
So if you will break open the center
Five doves will you release
Now turn the dollar over
And here on the other side
A reminder of His nativity
The Poinsettia, sign of the Yuletide
God gave us this little symbol
To remind us of His Son
And to understand His Gospel
Until our earthly days are done
