A Christmas Card
A Christmas Card
by Bud Lemire on Dec 13, 2011 Since he passed away, life hasn't been the same His heart attack came on suddenly, but nobody was to blame Sometimes a smile upon her face, was so very hard Little did she know, the magic of A Christmas Card One day she wandered just outside her door A Christmas Card was in her box that wasn't there before “Who could have given me this?” she asked out loud Some sunshine seem to make its way through her dark cloud She didn't know the person, who this card came from “Just to bring a smile to your face, and then some” A stranger she didn't know, made her wonder awhile Following her thoughts, there came a beautiful smile It's been so long since she smiled, she cried happy tears Never has this happened, in all of her years She felt something within her heart this day Folding her hands together, she began to pray “Thank you dear God for this moment in time” “And for waking up this old heart of mine” She held the card to her breast Feeling as though she'd been blessed Every day after that, a new card would appear People all around, filled her with Christmas Cheer She was so happy, feeling this way A kind act from a stranger, happened every day Until Christmas came a knock came on her door Opening it up, there was a big box upon the hallway floor It had her name right there on the top She pulled it inside, just so it wouldn't drop Opening it up, she saw the most beautiful dress She looked around, then came more tears of happiness She noticed there was a little card taped upon the seal “It's an honor to invite you to our Christmas meal” 'We came together and put together the very best” “By the way, you might want to wear that dress” On this day, at the age of eighty nine Kindness from strangers was a wonderful sign Holding her hand to her heart she smiled and said “Merry Christmas, I'm so glad I got out of bed” A kind act from a stranger, no matter how small, can bring a smile and joy to anyone's world. Remember, “no act or deed goes unnoticed by those in the spirit world.” They watch us and guide us every day. |
