A Christmas Card to My Son
Holiday card from a parent to a son. It has a gold and brown outer border, with the middle border made of holly and the inner border of gold. Within the inner border at the top is a scene of silhouetted trees and clouds, and below is a scene of snow, trees and a setting sun. In the center is a quote by Robert H. Lord, "A Christmas Card to My Son. I do not ask my son to follow in the footprints I have made. My Faith in him points out his path in bolder steps which lead beyond the narrow borders of my way. Be his more gentle where my feet too deeply trod, and where I faltered, may his step be firm. A prouder glory parent never won than this. To give the world a good, a manly son." |
