The Jelly Bean poem

Red is for our love for you that will never sever.

For love is not measured by the time we had together.

But whats in our hearts forever.

 

Green is for memories that we always will treasure.

Although time may pass.

Our memories will last

Forever and ever and ever time.

 

Yellow is for sunshine that you have gave to us.

You brightened up our lives and made our world shine

And will continue to shine brilliantly for the rest of time.

 

Orange is for the candles flame we light in memory of you.

Flame that glows so bright as we speak your name in prayer.

Asking God to hold you close. Until we join you there.

 

Black is for grief from our broken shattered heart.

Taking each day one at a time.

As we keep your memory alive.

Life is different.

I am different.

But we can and will survive.

 

Purple is for tears we shed as we remember you.

Precious memories you left behind.

Preserved deep inside.

You will always live on through our family.

Forever by our side.

 

White is for our hope and faith in God above.

The promise of resurrection.

Knowing we will reunite.

Above the clouds.

Over the rainbow.

In His everlasting light.

 

Pink is for the signs you send from Heaven up above.

Lighting our path wherever we go.

And whatever we may do.

We will ALWAYS love.

Another, slightly different version:

 

Red is for our love for you that will never sever … for love is not measured by the time we had together … but what’s in our hearts forever.

 

Green is for memories that we always will treasure …. although time may pass … our memories will last forever and ever and ever.

 

Yellow is for sunshine that you have given to us … you brightened up our lives and made our world shine and will continue to shine brilliantly for the rest of time.

 

Orange is for the candles flame we light in memory of you … flame that glows so bright as we speak your name in prayer … asking God to hold you close…until we join you there.

 

Black is for our grief from our broken shattered hearts taking each day one at a time … as we keep your memory alive, life is different … we are different … but we can and will survive.

 

Purple is for tears we shed as we remember you … precious memories you left behind … preserved deep inside … you will always live on through our family … forever by our side.

 

White is for our hope and faith in God above … the promise of resurrection … knowing we will reunite … above the clouds … over the rainbow … in His everlasting light.

 

Blue is for the signs you send from Heaven up above … lighting our paths wherever we go … and whatever we may do … Our precious loved one ... we will always love ... and always remember you.
