SWAK

Folks ask me why I still send birthday cards
or anniversary card.
Why go through the trouble
when you can just text or message or Facebook
or Snapchat or Instagram or Tweet?

There is something so exciting,
so heartwarming,
so comforting,
so uplifting,
so cheering,
so caring,
so loving
about another individual
taking a moment out of their crazy life
to choose a card, sit down,
jot a note, address it, stamp it
and mail it off to you.

It is tangible love - in an envelope.
It is hugs and concern and support
and faith and hope and care
in a folded piece of paper.
It is one heart shared with another.
It is sealed with a kiss.
