Card Tricks

Can’t have I don’t know what to say Too many friends I want to help so much Too much money It’s just another card Too many birthdays A way to stay in touch Two out of three? To say how much I miss you Too much to carp Would take me so damn long Unpack your harp My blues don’t touch the issue Why can’t we get along I remembered your birthday Tears make writing hard to do And sent you this card Words too hard to find The least I could do Time’s supposed to heal all woe When aging’s so hard The wait is so unkind Going forward’s not easy It’s been too long If you keep looking back And past the time to say I really have to tell you You made me love today And the cliche of the day is Not meant to be unkind In olden times one walked to everywhere But belatedly I find Or was it two together anywhere You are ever on my mind I wonder as I wander through a field of dew If sunlight brightens up The way I feel for you
