Let Your Spirit Soar

In 2006, the Touchmark Foundation and Touchmark launched a new program. Residents living in Touchmark communities may submit pictures of original artwork (paintings, needlepoint, photography, pen and ink, etc.) for possible inclusion in a note card collection. Touchmark leaders will use the cards to extend personalized greetings to people living in Touchmark communities throughout the United States and in Canada. At year’s end, the cards were placed in a collection and are available for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the Touchmark Foundation.

Warmth of the sunshine
A sunburn is not much fun
Use your sun lotion

Anxious fledglings chirp
Nervously to their parents
New worlds under wings

Roses ask nothing
They only require love
And fertilizer

A sudden cloud burst
Violent wind in the tress
Drama and flurry

Birthdays
Josie had a birthday
A great day was had by all
Birthdays are cake days

My Cat
My cat is striped orange
He likes to sit in my lap
I love him a lot
