Cards Sent.

Goldfinch60



Went through the Christmas Card list,

Crossed out those who no longer exist,

Wrote the cards for those who were left,

Thought of others who were now bereft.

Went to the post-box up the road,

Put the cards in to shed my load.

Walked swiftly back  into my home,

More cards for me on the floor in a dome.

Opened the first card and formed a fist,

This card was one not on my list.

So yet again I wrote more cards,

And once more sent my kind regards.

        Good write Gold.
        If someone upsets us, do we cross them off our Christmas card list?! lol.
        And what about if they have never sent us a card for donkey's years?

        • Goldfinch60

          Unfortunately the ones that now get crossed off my list are those who have departed this earth.

            Whops, yes! But if we don't know of their departure, we merrily go on sending cards to them!

            So much nicer to receive and send real cards than virtual cards. Enjoyed reading this.

            • Goldfinch60

              So true Rozina.

                  So many to remember, and yet still some forgotten - still it’s good to be remembered

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Very true Suresh, thank you.
