Lisa T - that Jordan almond 'poem' - not really
So incredibly sorry it took so long to get back to you. Well, after all this, it turns out it`s not a poem after all (which I feel stupid about, but I didn`t know - sorry again - but still, I think it`s really nice)...This is what it said:
At many Italian weddings,
It is an ancient custom
to give family and friends
a favor of five almonds.
The candy coating signifies
sweetness and love.
The almond represents fertility
and the firm foundation of love
on which to build a life together.
Each of the five almonds has a special meaning...
Love, Health, Happiness, Prosperity
And a long life together....
My coworker put this on very pretty cards that went with the favors. I hope this helps, although it`s not really a poem! Good Luck!
