A
Christmas Card
by Bud Lemire on Dec 13,

Since
he passed away, life hasn't been the same
His
heart attack came on suddenly, but nobody was to blame
Sometimes
a smile upon her face, was so very hard
Little
did she know, the magic of A Christmas Card
One
day she wandered just outside her door
A
Christmas Card was in her box that wasn't there before
“Who
could have given me this?” she asked out loud
Some
sunshine seem to make its way through her dark cloud
She
didn't know the person, who this card came from
“Just
to bring a smile to your face, and then some”
A
stranger she didn't know, made her wonder awhile
Following
her thoughts, there came a beautiful smile
It's
been so long since she smiled, she cried happy tears
Never
has this happened, in all of her years
She
felt something within her heart this day
Folding
her hands together, she began to pray
“Thank
you dear God for this moment in time”
“And
for waking up this old heart of mine”
She
held the card to her breast
Feeling
as though she'd been blessed
Every
day after that, a new card would appear
People
all around, filled her with Christmas Cheer
She
was so happy, feeling this way
A
kind act from a stranger, happened every day
Until
Christmas came a knock came on her door
Opening
it up, there was a big box upon the hallway floor
It
had her name right there on the top
She
pulled it inside, just so it wouldn't drop
Opening
it up, she saw the most beautiful dress
She
looked around, then came more tears of happiness
She
noticed there was a little card taped upon the seal
“It's
an honor to invite you to our Christmas meal”
'We
came together and put together the very best”
“By
the way, you might want to wear that dress”
On
this day, at the age of eighty nine
Kindness
from strangers was a wonderful sign
Holding
her hand to her heart she smiled and said
“Merry
Christmas, I'm so glad I got out of bed”
A kind act
from a stranger, no matter how small, can bring a smile and joy to
anyone's world. Remember, “no act or deed goes unnoticed by those
in the spirit world.” They watch us and guide us every day.
