XMAS CARDS

It's time to write those cards and choose a verse.

The list gets longer and the writing worse.

This year, however, add on an EXTRA LINE.

"Hello, dear friend, hope you're feeling fine.

"How about meeting for a coffee or a meal?

"Could chat about the old days and how you feel."

Maybe one day a week you could set aside,

To go on a new route, just for the ride.

Go shopping or just visit some special place,

Whatever it is, make it a special case.

The change of surroundings show that you care.

If you're lucky like me and can bus anywhere.

Makes a change for them from the daily chores.

Lessens the time spent behind closed doors.

Especially at Christmas and any other time,

Just take time to add that EXTRA LINE.
