I don't know why it's so hard to find <br />A 'greeting' card of a different kind. <br />One that is simple, yet so direct <br />That is tasteful and not suspect. <br /> <br />A card that says, 'It's Mother's Day' <br />Time for the sun to come out and for us to play. <br />That reminds us to be thankful for all we share <br />And give hugs to the one for which we so much care. <br /> <br />No cutesy endearing rhyme <br />That doesn't apply most of the time. <br />Or cartoons attempting to be humorous <br />Or else those that simply disgust. <br /> <br />Then there are those with siruppy sentiment <br />That you wonder the day after what they meant. <br />With bouquets of flowers and perhaps a bit of prose <br />And a perfume smell to tweak your nose. <br /> <br />Well this is one that's different you should know <br />It's simply just a poem from Joe. <br />Telling you I love you in so many ways, <br />And thankful for all the happy days.<br /><br />Sidi J.
