    Thank You so very much for your kind review and the wonderful stars you placed on display for all to see for "Holiday greetings from PruittHealth". I am a Hospice Chaplain and as such I am losing friends all the time and this is my holiday reminder to each of them that they are not forgotten by their loved one, their Hospice friends or God. May God Bless you, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Greetings Dr. Nad,

It is a time of great cheer as the holiday season draws near, it is a sentiment that echoes across the land. It is a time to gather friends and families together and give thanks for the blessings we have received. This is an excellent greeting for your residents and their families. ;) Chrisfiore

I guess I sense a poetic connection between the winter season and the idea of hospice, which fills my mind with finality. We will be seeing loss in this season and know the value of a hospice program. Nice poem.

    Whoops! Yikes...I didn't know that the card was NOT meant to be witty...Sorry about that.

    But, it really was a very fine poem. I saw no errors and it was very well written.

    Sorry to hear you're losing friends...

    Peace,

    Mike

A Pruitt corporation operated a nursing home in a small southern town a few years ago, a nice one as nursing homes go. The he who is absent, one hopes, is working the holiday caring for folks...

If that SNF was in NC, SC, or GA it was probably one of the 97 Pruitt owns. May God Bless you, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

What a gentle, thoughtful poem with a beautiful message. You make such a good point about God having the higher perspective. It's His master plan!

Echoes of a sweet sentiment, and enjoyable. Your quatrains are very readable but could use some tightening up, some word conservation. Best of luck. Kenny

This is a kind and considerate greeting for
