Matt turned 21 June 25. As his birthday approached, Janet wanted to
send a gift, but there was no news of where her son’s unit was based.
So she wrote her son a poem to praise his job well done and encourage
him for the times ahead.
A Poem for Matt
These days grow long it seems to me,
as I wait for your return.
I try to work and live my life
with minimal concern.
I know you trained so very hard with
confidence and pride,
but feeling so removed from you
brings sadness I can’t hide.
So many other families have
felt these feelings, too.
I’m not alone by any means
so this is what I’ll do.
The families with nothing
who invite you in for tea.
The Children who are use
to playing soccer in bare feet.
You learned to do without the basic needs
you’ve always known,
but shared your gifts and treats we
all were sending you from home.
Oh I have seen a change in you
that others may not see.
A purpose in your life that comes
from being a Marine.
The politics may continue
to be challenged years to come,
but I can say with all my heart,
I’m proud of you, my son!

Pros: Twisted funny cards. Free envelope. Cards for almost all occasions. The day I get to burn my box of “Stuff to Burn Later.†Auto-reverse cassette player technology.
Cons: Expensive for tightwads, but cheap for those who truly care about the card’s recipient and think money is trivial in terms of showing how much they care. Having to pay for shipping. Lack of capitalization. Nauseating, overly-poetic, badly-written greeting cards.
