"Although cards are nice, They're only read once or twice. A book is a treasure That lasts forever. So instead of a card to be put aside, Please give the baby a book with your name & wishes inside. It will be read to our little tyke Before bed each night, And we will think of you Forever and ever!"
Although cards are nice they're read once or maybe twice.
A book is a treasure forever and forever.
So instead of a card to be put aside, please give the little ones a book with your best wishes inside.
It will be read to the babies before bed each night and Lanie and Shane will thank you as they turn off the light.
Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

Re: Poem for Bring a Book instead of card?
I haven't seen a poem, just something like this:
"In leu of a greeting card, please bring your favorite children's book to help stock baby ________'s book shelf!"
"Although cards are nice,
They're only read once or twice.
A book is a treasure
That lasts forever.
So instead of a card to be put aside,
Please give the baby a book with your name & wishes inside.
It will be read to our little tyke
Before bed each night,
And we will think of you
Forever and ever!"
Here's the one we used (for twins):
Although cards are nice
they're read once or
maybe twice.
A book is a treasure
forever and forever.
So instead of a card
to be put aside,
please give the little ones
a book with
your best wishes inside.

before bed each night

So, it's ok to jump down the throat of someone asking for diapers but not for books.
