Did I miss an opportunity to help someone’s day go better?

I’ve thought about it some and I’ve missed ten all together.

So far today…

I asked if you felt well. I knew you had been ill.

I didn’t wait for you to answer. I had no time to kill.

I have a stack of cards that I bought but never sent.

I thought I had some stamps, but I don’t know where they went.

I could give you a call, but I don’t want to be a pest.

If you’re not feeling well, you really need your rest.

I could text to say I’m praying for better days ahead.

Maybe I’ll just wait until another time, instead.

I’ll take a nap and then I’ll need to fix some dinner.

I’ll begin again tomorrow, though I’m not a good beginner.

I haven’t done a thing today to show someone else I care.

Today the preacher said opportunities are everywhere.

Excuse me …I need to make a call!

Dear Pat,

A few weeks ago, you won a Gallant Heart Media contest. You gifted me with your prize and said you wanted me to use it for me. When I was talking with my sweet niece, Erin Francis, who is the creator of everything having to do with gallantheartmedia.com, I remembered that you had a birthday coming up on April 2nd. It seemed the perfect time to let you know how grateful I am for your friendship.

Erin was more than happy to work with me to make Pat’s song exactly what I would create for you if I could write and record music and of course, sing. I think it’s beautiful just like you are. You have always been there for me and supported me in every weird thing I do. There is no one more special than you. I hope you enjoy your song.

P.S. after I heard the song, I decided I also wanted you to have the T shirt. It will be here in a few days.

Love you,

Mary

I wanted to put a small excerpt of your song on the blog as a birthday surprise. It is a personal gift from me so I will give the entire song to you, only…

(I love the two pictures on the cover. I think your son, Jeff originally posted them on FB.)
