MERRY CHRISTMAS - my 63rd. Personal card.

Mary said, "My Son, Jesus, would love his poem."

There’s something to know; it’s simple, it’s true.

There’s something to learn, and we’re here to grow, too.

Look deep in your heart, let it shine, let it glow.

For you’re not alone, no matter where you go,

There is something you need to know

We are beautiful, yes, but not like a tree,

We’re made to connect, both you and like me.

And we celebrate a Guy, a bit like you,

He came from God with a message that’s true.

He’s more loving, even than dear old Mom,

And He told us to cheer, so come on, and stay calm.

Let’s connect with each other; don’t be afraid.

For we’re fragile, it’s true, but love never fades.

So open your heart, join the fun with a heart

The world needs your love, your kindness, your heart!

For smarts aren’t enough if love isn’t there.

So live big and be bold – show the world that you care.
