Cards of Love

Just children with their homemade card
Brought so much joy when I was down.
I was so sick my heart was scarred,
Just children with their homemade card.
To show their love, it was not hard,
Their love to me a peaceful gown.
Just children with their homemade card
Brought so much joy when I was down.

what a wonderful triolet entry. Isn't that the greatest little form sometimes for doing a contest with? By the way, you should put two C's in Scarred. Otherwise, it means afraid. soupmail for ya.
