I’d read one and then put it back-
the sentiments weren’t right
I’d read another, and another
and realized that my options
were dwindling
I read one more…
I was so moved by the tenderness and beauty of the words-
words that would make even the coldest heart sigh
and bow in prayer
They awakened my spirit and it blushed with
warmth
I felt the words and wished them to apply
but they didn’t
I began to feel melancholic about the feelings and
newness that used to be
Nothing was right
and I cried for it to be
I finally found a card but still longed for the
words and feelings from the other cards instead
of words that just are
I guess I wasn’t alone in how I felt because
I got the same exact card with
words that just are.
Oh the irony. I understand the feelings you express in this poem. I've had the same thoughts myself. I am a very sentimental person and will take hours choosing just the right card for those I love. The words have to be just right.

However, a collection of my poems are seen at the back of my poetry cards. One can buy these cards as a collection of my work, or buy them to use as greeting cards.

It can be so difficult to find just the right words to express the feelings of a soul laid bare ... and it takes a lot of courage too.

Beautiful write...I am very selective when buying cards. :) Just any won't do. It has to speak to my heart.
