Sorry you've been incapacitated
Sorry 'bout all your ills
We're sorry 'bout that hospital bit
And all those shots and pills!

But we're real glad you're on the mend
And feelin' better each day
And we're sending many good wishes
'til good health is here to stay!

Since I can never find a card
To say what I want it to say..
I decided just to make you one,
So I started it today.

It has to say you are very special..
As you have been from the start!
It has to say you bring a special
Sunshine to my heart!

It has to say you are very, very loved
And very needed too.
And it should say a special blessing
Is always prayed for you.

It should say so many good things...
It wouldn't know where to stop and start.
And it should say "A Very Merry Christmas"
To you...from deep within my heart!! December 1978

"Come on...Join the choir..."
We've been asked time and time again.
What better way to serve The Lord
Or give nurture to a friend?

Yes, we've thought that might be nice...
I think I'd like to try it.
But so many tasks get in the way..
The thought remains...but we deny it.

There are so many other things to do..
And my voice isn't all that good..
And I'd hate to practice every Wednesday night
Tho I realize I should.

I can rationalize from morn till night
And make excuses all day long...
For not joining Creighton's choir
And lifting my voice in song.

It takes a good deal of love and dedication
To become a member tried and true.
That's why we'd like to say we appreciate
Each and every one of you!
June 6, 1987
