The Card I Meant to Send

The Card I Meant to Send

Last Christmas I resolved
To start my cards right then
When I would have time to ponder
The cards that I would send.

The cards would be so lovely
Beautiful beyond compare
The lovely masterpieces I would send
To show my friends I care.

The colors would be lovely
And the cards would be three D
All created and hand designed
Totally and uniquely me!

Imagine the shock I felt
When the calendar on my PC
Said my time had already run out
And it was December 23!

So dear friends I beg of you
Do not despair or grieve
For in my heart I love you still
But this is the card you will receive.....
from me!

Love,
Thena


PS....I'm starting on next years cards on Jan first
and they will be lovely!!

Love It! Can I use it and email it to my family? I bought cards last year and still haven't sent them.

wonderful words thena!! (i've decided with our move during christmas this year, we're sending new year's cards instead!!)

Thena, everytime I read your poetry or browse your layouts, I get the feeling that you've been watching old reruns of parts of my life. How great that you've found your way back to DSP and thanks for sharing this greeting!

[Emma]

ah, Thena, you're so funny!

I have to admit, I sent one Christmas card this year, I'm so disappointed because I've broken my run of never sending cards, LOL! But in my defense, it was from a stack of cards I bought to give to friends in NINTH grade!!!!! And the only reason I sent it was because I've had this woman's engagement photo, by mistake, for the past 6 years since she moved away.

I've begun forbidding my friends to send me cards also, though some people still love me and send them anyway

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm in the same boat again this year...I just never learn!

Lol Thena, I would expect nothing less from you. I knew as soon as I saw your name, it would make me laugh or cry. Happily I'm smiling right now.
Merry Christmas to you and yours dear Thena.

Love the poem, Thank you for the un-card.
