Gifts of Creative Love Take a Bit Extra—So Worthwhile!
My father would write a short poem on my
birthday card or on a present at Christmas time—in the form of a clue to the
mysterious gift inside. It became a family tradition that I have carried on
with much pleasure. Today, I often write a longer poem onto an anniversary card for my wife or a graduation or birthday for a relative. My wife and daughter have caught onto the
ritual, with gratification, often returning the favor.
It makes all the difference. In fact, this thoughtful act is a present in itself—the time and effort is so much appreciated by the receiver.
