You worked so hard to do your best
Fingers tight around colors of red
Tongue pressed out in concentration
Little finger touching paper of what will be
So excited to give your gift
Eyes twinkle with delight
Hugs and Kisses of appreciation
Off you skip with happy thoughts
In my hutch your card does go
Added to my collection
Gestures of love
Years roll by as the pile grew
And so do you
House now empty
The drawer went still
Written words you do not recall
My greatest treasure
Are your forgotten deeds

That’s awesome. We save all our kids’ homemade cards, gifts, artwork, etc. It’s a treasure. 😊

I hear ya’. We have big Rubbermaid bins, one for each boy, that hold all their stuff from birth to today. We go through them every now and then, and it elicits smiles, laughs, and tears simultaneously. 😃

The gifts of the heart, known as correspondence, take up lots of space, but that space would otherwise be a void.
