Poems about Angels
Good friends are like fine quilts - they seem to age with you, yet they never lose their warmth.
Terribly sorry this is late
Remembered you but not the date.
FRIENDSHIP
Life is like a bouquet
and friendship like a flower.
That blooms and grows in beauty
with the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms
that are tended with great care.
By those who work unselfishly
to make the place more fair.
And like the bouquet's blossoms
friendships flower grows more sweet.
When watched and tended carefully
by those we know and meet.
And like sunshine adds new fragrance
and raindrops play their part.
Joy and sadness add new beauty
when there's friendship in the heart.
And if the seed of friendship
is planted deep and true.
And watched with understanding,
friendships will bloom for you.

LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER...
MEMORY
Was something

CARDMAKERS POEM
Cardmakers are the smartest bunch,
designing cards from just a hunch.
From early morn to setting sun,
they work for hours to get things done.
Creative juices start to flow,
producing cards for some big show.
And when they're done they are so proud,
With cards to please most any crowd.
They come alone, sometimes in pairs
And travel far to sell their wares.
So many things come from their minds,
Amazing cards of all kinds.
Resourceful, talented and smart,
They make their world a work of art.

Letter from Tooth Fairy
Sorry, but due to the massive quantity of children loosing teeth, we have to resort to a form letter, please forgive.
signed
Tooth fairy
Dear___________
Thank you for leaving one (1) tooth under your pillow last night.
While we make every attempt to leave a monetary reward in the case of lost or stolen children's teeth, we were unable to process your request for the following reason(s) indicated below:
The tooth could not be found
It was not a human tooth
We do not think that pieces of chicken bone are very funny
We were unable to approach the tooth due to excessive odor
The tooth has previously been redeemed for cash
The tooth did not originally belong to you
The tooth fairy does not process Fingernails/Toenails
Your request has been forwarded to the Nerve Ending Fairy for appropriate action
You were overheard to state that you do not believe in the Tooth Fairy
You are age 12 or older at the time your request was received
The tooth is still in your mouth
The tooth was guarded by a vicious fairy-eating dog at the time of our visit
No night light was on at the time of our visit
The snacks provided for the Tooth Fairy were not satisfactory, or were missing
We discovered evidence of unsafe tooth extraction as follows:
String
Pliers
Gunpowder
Hammer marks
Chisel
Part of skull attached to tooth
No dental care
Other
Thank you for your request, and we look forward to serving you in the future.
Sincerely,
The Tooth Fairy
Verse for a 60 year old or over
Being 60 years old is when ....
...your partner says,
" lets go up stairs
and make love "
and you answer,
" I can't do both ".
...you don't care where your
partner goes,
so long as you
don't have to go along.
...you are cautioned
to slow down
by the Doctor
instead of the Police.
... getting Lucky
means you find
your car in the car park.
... an " all nighter"
means not having
to get up to go
to the Loo.
( just some advanced warning)
Enjoy your
60th Birthday
Anyway
It All Began With Just One Stamp!
It all began with just one stamp
And just one stamp pad too
Of course, things couldn't stay that way
And shortly, I had two.
This was quickly followed
By more stamps (three and four)
The craving had now started
I wanted more and more.
A teeny weeny garden set
With a lovely little rose
The cutest little teddy bear
I must have one of those.
A couple of those Inkums sets
A rollagraph or two
And then another coloured ink
For stamping I must do.
I really love those bear stamps
And country ones are nice
I see that Penny Black
Has some lovely little mice.
I think that I'm addicted now
It started just last year
I now can't pass a catalogue
Without just one more bear.
And then I joined some stamping lists
Upon the internet
From here I learned of other things
That I must really get.
I want to try some brayering
And pearl-ex powders too
Stamping on polymer clay
There's lots of things to do.
My husband is somewhat bemused
As are my children (three)
As I produce yet more stamped things
Keen for them to see.
And now I'm signed up for some swaps
One's a birthday card
The other is a teddy theme
Now that can't be too hard
I'd better go and start them now
I've six of each to do
I want to get them in the post
And then start something new......
"This is a very special gift
that you can never see.
The reason it's so special,
it's just for you from me.
Whenever you are lonely
or even feeling blue.
You only have to hold this gift
and know I think of you.
You can never unwrap it,
please leave the ribbon tied.
Just hold the box to your heart
It's filled with love inside".
FAIRY VERSE
Few folk have seen a Fairy,
But I found this one for you.
If you believe with all your might
She'll make your dreams come true.

FEELING BLUE
I heard youre feeling blue today
And wanted you to know
Friends are all around you
Till the dark skies are to go
When your down and want to smile
But havent found the strength
Just open up this little card
And feel the love I've sent
Jesus, gentle Saviour,
Look upon this child with love
Smile upon him with Your favour
From Your throne in heaven above
As he comes to share Your Supper
Share Your blessings with him, too
And through every day that follows,
Guide and keep him close to You...

As you receive the Holy Sacrament on your First Communion Day
May god smile down upon you and be with you when you pray.
May he grant you all the lovely things which mean the most to you
Today, tomorrow, every day and always your whole life through!
What do you see nurses, what do you see?
What are you thinking when you're looking at me?
A crabbit old woman, not very wise
Uncertain of habit with far away eyes
Who dribbles her food and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try"
Who seems not to notice the things that you do
And forever is losing a stocking or a shoe
Who unresisting or not lets you do as you will
With bathing and feeding, the day long to fill
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes nurse, you're not looking at me
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still
As I use at your bidding, as I eat at your will
I'm a small child of ten, with father and mother
Brothers and sisters who love one another
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet
A bride soon at twenty, my heart gives a leap
Remembering the vows that I promised to keep
At twenty five now, I have young of my own
Who need to me to build a secure, happy home
A young woman of thirty, my young now grow fast
Bound to each other with ties that should last
At forty my young ones now grown will soon be gone
But my man stays beside me to see I don't mourn
At fifty once more babies play round my knee
Again we know children, my loved one and me
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead
I look to the future and shudder with dread
For my young are all busy rearing young of their own
And I think of the years and the love I have known
I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel
'Tis her joke to make old age look like a fool
The body it crumbles, grace and vigour depart
There now is a stone where I once had a heart
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells
And now and again my battered heart swells
I remember the joys, I remember the pain
And I'm living and loving life over again
I think of the years, all too few - gone too fast
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last
So open your eyes nurses, open and see
Not a crabbit old woman, look closer - see me.

THE NURSES REPLY
(Penned by a nurse)
What do we see, you ask, what do we see?
Yes we are thinking when we look at thee.
We may seem to be hard when we hurry and fuss
but there's many of you and too few of us.
We would like far more time to sit by you and talk,
to hear of your lives and the things you have done,
your childhood, your husband, your daughter, your son.
But time is against us, there's too much to do,
patients too many, and nurses too few.
We grieve when we see you so sad and alone,
with nobody near you, no friends of your own.
We feel all your pain, and know of your fear,
that nobody cares now, your end is so near.
But nurses are people with feelings as well,
and when we're together you'll often hear tell
of the dearest old gran in the very end bed,
and the lovely old dad, and the things that he said.
We speak with compassion and love, and feel sad,
when we think of your lives and the joy that you've had.
When the time has arrived for you to depart,
you leave us behind with an ache in our heart.
When you sleep the long sleep, no more worry or care,
there are other old people, and we must be there.
So please understand if we hurry and fuss -
there are many of you, and too few of us.
