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.
