I was inspired to write this bit of verse after learning of this young lady: 800 Cards for Emma's 8th Birthday
Updated: Now Emma's Army on Facebook and added to our Resources page.

Wise beyond her very few years
Hopes in birthday cards
Help cast away the fears
She knows something better
Down the road days ahead
Tomorrow never knows what road
Taken maybe forsaken
We travel on in silence
Lifting up burdens
Helping each others cares
Sending out recycled kindness
Light pierces through the dark night
Lost in fortune or fame
Road weary and struggling
Couldn’t we all say the same
So put a stamp on that letter
Make a selfless image
Send a prayer on a wing
Best hopes and wishes
Celebrate everything
