I recieved your card <br />Your thank-you card... <br />Finally! <br />Or...should I say sorry? <br />For ignoring you <br />For being selfish <br />For thinking <br />That you wouldn't send one <br />That you didn't care <br />That I cared more <br />That I expected an invitation <br />In the beginning <br />But got a thank-you card <br />In the end <br />But...your thank-you card... <br />Is just as generous as any card <br />Whether it comes in the beginning <br />Or in the end <br />It's funny how these 'proper' rules <br />Can turn our hearts into stones <br />Your thank-you card <br />Softened my heart of stone <br />Into cotton <br />Allowing more love <br />More goodness to be absorbed <br />My eyes have become stones <br />For next time <br />Proper rules won't affect my heart <br />But...my eyes will stay fixed and stiff <br />And my mind will remember <br />That what is 'proper' <br />That what is a 'rule' <br />Cannot be applied <br />And will not exist <br />Between flesh and blood <br />Between our history <br />Between our friendship <br />Between me and you<br /><br />Diana Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-thank-you-card-2/
