My Meraki Gifts


So special are some days to celebrate
   for family and dearest friends I know;
      a joy that fills my heart is to create
a splendid card for each, my love to show.

I blend my gifts of art and poetry
   to personalize each and every one,
      designed with help of new technology; 
computer art, my words, then print when done.

How special to present my unique cards
   with names upon and wishes that hit home;
      a joy for me to show the deep regards
I have for each with art and words my own.

With soul, deep love and creativity,
   each card presents a little piece of me.


Sandra M. Haight

Great poem, congratulations. Yes, I agree, I wrote a poem for each of my grandkids on their specialness to us and cute things they did, plus other family members.
