Notes Of Cheer

The Power Of A Card

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Like prints of birds upon the snow

Mark the ground like paper kisses

Love that promises to grow

Telling of hugs and tender wishes

Birthday, Christmas and get well cards

Special moments, marked in time

Sentiments as bright as sparks

Tender words of love, in rhyme

Timeless treasures to look back on

Gentle words of better days

Remembering travels to and from

Happy memories caught in haze

I miss you and get well soon

Encouragement and way to go’s

Sorry for your loss in tunes

Numbered cards to watch the flow

Of life in motion and days of youth

The expression fills the heart

A simple way to offer proof

Of what someone means to you

Cursive or printed in large font

I find it really doesn’t matter

Love really doesn’t take a lot

Just a few words in a letter
