Jesus Candy Cane Poem
Three Variations of the Jesus Candy Cane Poem
Candy canes are a favorite treat at Christmas, and many people consider them symbolic of the real "reason for the season" - the birth of Jesus Christ.
History doesn't support the idea that candy canes were created for this purpose, but the legend of candy cane has become quite popular. Poems and books have been written to explain how the candy cane became a symbol for Jesus.
Here are three variations of the Jesus candy cane poem, as well as other information about Christmas candy canes.

Jesus Candy Cane Poem
Look at the candy cane.
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me.
White is for my Savior
Who's sinless and pure.
"J" is for Jesus, My Lord, that's for sure!
Turn it around
And a staff you will see.
Jesus, my shepherd,
Was born for me

A Second Variation of the Candy Cane Story
Jesus, Gentle Shepherd,
this cane of red and white
proclaims the sweet love story
born on Christmas night
This cane, you see, when turned around
begins your name of love
and now becomes a symbol
of peace proclaimed above
The lively peppermint flavor
is the regal gift of spice
The white is your purity
and the red your sacrifice
And so this cane reminds us
of just how much you care
and like your Christmas gift to us
it's meant for all to share

Another Jesus Candy Cane Poem Variation
A significant symbol of Christmas
Is the simple candy cane.
It's shape is the crook of the shepherd,
One of the first who came.
The lively peppermint flavor is
The regal gift of spice.
The white is Jesus' purity.
The red is sacrifice.
The narrow stripes are friendship
And the nearness of his love.
Eternal, sweet compassion,
A gift from God above.
The candy cane reminds us all
how much God loved and cared.
And like His Christmas gift to us
It's meant to be broken and shared.
Candy Cane Seeds
Another kind of candy cane poem
This is a fun poem you can attach to a bag of "candy cane seeds" (peppermint discs or balls) and give as a gift during the holidays.
Candy Cane Seeds
I once knew a gardener who knew how to grow
Bright tasty candies from under the snow.
I asked her to share her secret with me,
And this is what she replied readily:
To garden in winter is difficult, you see.
It takes lots of care and a very special seed.
Here are some seeds to grow your own treats,
And you'll soon reap a harvest of candy cane treats!
