Modern lifestyle is so hectic, isn’t it?... You probably don’t get much opportunity to spend a few hours of leisure time with your nearest and dearest, or with those people with whom you wish to share a few moments of fun and entertainment.

And it’s exactly for this reason that you require a medium to express your feelings towards all those people you love and care for, so they know just how much they mean to you, and how important their love and well-being is to you.

Surely, the best way of expressing your deepest feelings is to remember all those special occasions in the lives of friends and family, and to send greeting cards filled with meaningful words … words which express exactly the true feelings you have in your heart.

These words may be romantic, funny, sad, jovial … the choice is limitless and will vary depending on the occasion.

Nowadays, many of you will enjoy the increasingly popular hobby of making your own greetings cards.

Or, perhaps you buy attractive cards of a general nature that can be used for all occasions, but that don’t have verses or poems inside?

On the other hand, you may download your cards from the internet and print them off yourselves.

If any of this applies to you, and if you’re short of time for writing poetry, or feel you lack the ability, the internet is also a great place to find free poems - for all occasions. You’ll discover free love poems, free Christmas poems, anniversary and birthday poems, baby shower poems … the list is endless.

Just choose a suitable verse and carefully write the poetic words in the greetings card. Even if the card already has a verse, a personalized poem or couple of lines will make the recipient feel extra-special and will be much appreciated.

You’ll find free poems to send on the Independence Day of your particular country, on the birthdays of your father, mother, sons, daughter, wife, husband, beloved, friends, boss … anyone, in fact. For weddings, anniversaries, mother’s day, father’s day … you can even congratulate someone on their divorce!

On Valentine’s Day, you’ll surely wish to give a lot of thought to get your verse just right. And, at Christmas, you’ll need a wide variety of verses to fit the person to whom you’re sending the card … some will be more formal, whilst others will be to people dear to your heart but whom you may not have seen for some time.

Expressing your feelings in this way to relatives, friends, lovers, and love ones will give the recipients a great deal of pleasure and leave them with a warm glow.

People will appreciate the thought and effort you’ve put in to make an event special. You’ll touch the core of their hearts by this small gesture of sending poetic verses, and it will make their world a better and cheerier place.

But there are other reasons why greetings cards and the verses and poetry inside them are so important …in particular for two kinds of people.

The first kind of person who’ll find them particularly useful are those who are shy. If you’re shy, you’ll have so many feelings hidden deep in your heart which you have difficulty in expressing for yourself. Or, you may be shy because you lack the confidence to express how you feel – you’re hesitant and nervous.

The answer is to let the experts do it for you. They’re used to expressing sensitive feelings and emotions, be that for parents, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands or friends. Just search for free poems, find the one you like the best, and copy it out into an attractive card.

Another type of person who’ll find greetings cards particularly useful is the person who’s unable to find words to express his or her feelings. You may well not normally lack confidence, it’s just that you don’t know what to say when faced with expressing your emotions. For example, you may like or love someone very much, but you can’t get the words together to tell your friend or loved one just how much they mean to you. You may not be creative-minded when it comes to finding romantic and sensitive words, so greeting cards verses and poems are vital to get your message across.

Thinking about it, the majority of us lack the ability to express ourselves and our feelings as well as we’d like. We all need to use verses, poems and one-liners written by those with a gift for it. And it certainly makes the world a cheerier place to receive a pretty card full of affectionate words.
