Needle Threaded With Cotton
Preparing My Sewing Machine,
My Sewing Is Pretty Rotten
Though You Know I'm Keen,
You Taught Me Well, did your best
Now For Me To Do The Rest,
I Love To Stitch, I Love To Sew
I Like To See My Patchwork Grow,
Now To Hold My Fabric Steady
Turn On The Machine, Now I'm Ready,
Take It Slowly, Get this right,
Oh No! The Thread's Too Tight,
Check The Cotton In The Needle
Dreaded This, Bit Of A Fiddle,
Started Again, Going Great
Stitching Is Even, Nice & Straight
Now I've Finished, Check My Quilt
Drink My Tea, Before I Wilt.

Words can be painful,
They can cut like a knife,
There are times you'll remember them,
For the rest of your life,
So use words kindly,
Choose ones that uplift,
They can be healing, consoling,
Consider them a gift,
They can heal a wounded heart,
Or they can break it in two,
So pick them wisely,
They will speak volumes of you.

Wonderful people,
Fill our hearts with delight,
They add a bit of sparkle,
They make a dark day bright,
Negatives turn into positives,
When they spend some time with you,
Because they show an interest,
In everything you do,
So the tables soon are turned,
And amazingly you find,
That the interest shown in you,
Makes you feel so warm inside,
Your spirits soon are lifted,
Happiness begins to flow,
That's the magic of a friendship,
That over the years has flourished and grown.

We cannot be together,
I know that this is true,
I also know this heart of mine,
Will always be with you,
I'll never forget the time we've had,
The joy you've given me,
Our moments were all too fleeting,
But we are really just not to be,
So I respect your brave decision,
You must do what's right for you,
But it won't stop my heart from breaking,
As I try to live without you.

Believe in your guardian angel,
Talk to him each day,
Be sure of his deliverance,
His light will show you the way,
Take time in the day to be silent,
To listen as he whispers to you,
That all good things do happen,
When you believe he's protecting you.

Raise a glass to friendship,
To a port in the storms of life,
The one who is always there for us,
Through the joy and all through strife,
Who listens while we talk on things,
Makes us laugh at the good and the bad,
And that friendship I have found in you,
And for that I am very glad!

I'm a crafter through and through
and I know that you're one too
From parchment craft to knitting socks
Making cards and polishing rocks
We really are a special breed
Catering to the non crafters need
We work by day, we work by night
It's no wonder we're short of sight
But on we beaver come what may
To make delights to send away

You are about to start big school,
How exciting for you,
You'll be making some new friends,
While learning lots of things too,
You'll start reading books,
Adding sums and taking away,
You'll have lots of fun doing it,
Don't worry you'll still play,
So enjoy the excitement,
Of things all brand new,
I know your mum and dad,
Are so very proud of you!

Nature always changing,
Throughout the turning of the wheel,
As seasons come and seasons go,
Continually they do heal,
We acknowledge Earth's great energy,
As the cycle does unfold,
It holds the secret of the Universe,
As its pathway we behold,
May we walk the cycle of the year,
As nature manifests its design,
And our hearts, our lives and seasons,
Move hand in hand with time.

Although we did not meet
We feel your loved ones pain
You finally let go
And slept to rise again.
You had a life so full
Many joys and memories too
The sorrow you stood, and yet
You smiled and struggled through.
Today you're held within
The hearts of all you knew
And you will live on now
As part of all they do.

In Memory

For all the times we laughed out loud
All the times we sat and cried
For all the things we've seen and done
and the things we haven't tried

Yet !!!

You'll always be....my best friend

Spend some time at the seashore,
Relax and unwind,
The day to day stress,
Leave it all behind,
Celebrate the occasion,
It's day just for you,
Take a moment,
Take a hour,
Sit back - enjoy the view!

I can't believe that we are through,
I thought we were strong - what did I do?
I long to have you back with me,
But I understand this is not to be,
All I wish is great happiness for you,
That you find joy whatever you do,
The times we had I will always treasure,
Even though as a couple we are no longer together.

Look at the birds,
How they sing in the trees,
The robin, the blue-tit,
We see them for free,
In the lawns, under hedgerows,
The blackbird seeks worms,
He pulls them up gaily,
Oh my how they squirm!
The daffodils thrust at us,
Their nodding yellow heads,
Now finally we know,
The long Winter is dead.

Days lengthen,
Sunshine floods our homes,
It makes us feel happy,
It warms up aching bones,
The birds build their nests,
High up in leaf filled trees,
They're all singing loudly,
Spring is here for all to see.

I'm a very special Mouse
You'll always find around the house
Not in the garden or the shed
Don't bother looking under the bed

A little gift from one who cares
To keep an eye on your affairs
An Angel mouse to care for you
Your little friend your whole life through

I'm a fairy (angel) born of light
I'll fly above your bed at night
To keep bad dreams and frights away
So you'll enjoy each bright new day

Don't be afraid to go to sleep
'Cos all your hopes and dreams I'll keep
So Darling (or name) you've no need to fear
Your watchful fairy (angel) will be near

I'm the funny little clown
Who'll lift you up when you feel down
I think I'll stick around awhile
Just to try and make you smile

I'll tell you jokes and juggle balls
Tickle you and do bird calls
Do magic tricks, card games too
I'll always be around for you

Antique or vintage,
Something that's aged and worn,
They put a spring in your step,
They have since you were born,
Your Moorcroft or your Shelley,
Art Deco or Victorian fare,
Car boot sales or charity shops,
You'll always find something there,
But as today's your birthday,
Hope you find many treasures in your day,
Then may the memories last a lifetime,
For they are priceless - nothing to pay.

Elvis is your King,
You play him morning, noon and night,
A day without some Elvis,
Is a day that's just not right,
So put on your Blue Suede Shoes,
And sing the night away,
For today it is your birthday,
Enjoy it the Presley way!

Although this verse isn't strictly for cards, I thought I would still include it as it could be used for perhaps any craft items/gifts you might sell at say craft fairs and the like.

Share your special smile with the world today,
Let them know you're happy,
Brighten up their day,
It doesn't cost a penny,
And it will make you feel good too,
So put a curve upon those lips,
It will stop you feeling blue!

Take some time to listen,
Take some time to share,
Show someone you're thinking of them,
Show then that you care,
We live in such a busy world,
The days they come and go,
So stop just for a moment,
Ring a friend and say,'Hello',

I often enclose a lottery ticked with a card. So I have put together a couple of verses that might be useful should anyone else do the same and might wish to use a little verse.

I have enclosed a lottery ticket,
And wish you all the best,
Here's hoping that your numbers,
Hold the key to happiness,
And if you win a fortune,
I hope you'll remember your special friend,
Who bought your magic ticket,
And popped it in this card to send!

Six special numbers,
That could change your world today,
They're picked especially for you,
As on the lotto you must play,
We hope that luck and fortune,
In your day they play a part,
As we wish you all the very best,
From the bottom of our hearts.
