Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Greeting Cards are Hard, Especially for You

Dan Cassavaugh, our Digital Managing Editor, deserves a big hug today.  Today, September 18,  is "Hug A Greeting Card Writer Day".  I always thought I could write a greeting card but after hearing Dan's story, I'm not sure my words would be worthy.  When Dan was nine years old he wrote a powerful poem for a greeting card and it goes like this:

"Roses are red,

violets are blue,

fire is hot, (now, wait for it....)

and so are you"

Simple but brilliant.  If only this card was published.  Well, I know what line I'm going to use next time I pen a little love letter to my sweetie.  So could you do it?  Could you write a greeting card?
