Sorry - it's going to be long!
I have a very dear friend, 81yrs with all her marbles (and others as well!). It was her birthday last week but we never send cards as 'she doesnt have birthdays anymore'. I still wanted to do a little something nice so i've handpainted a card with beautiful flowers and written a small verse to go inside - could i just have some opinions on it before i ruin the card with ink.
I'm sure a day has passed of late,
Perhaps a cause to celebrate?
I doubt you had chance to unwind,
But hope you enjoyed those who were kind
Is that day important in the space of a year?
Theres more things about you that make others cheer.
The card may be blank, with no empty words,
But it carries a sentiment that should really be heard.
I could say lots of things,
Or buy gifts with my plastic,
But nothing comes close
Not even fantastic
You are who you are, and you do what you do,
So i'll send a big thank you for just being you.
If it's too tacky or sicky please be honest - i just couldnt think what else to do  |

to be honest, it's childish.
'plastic' and 'fantastic' have no place in a poem about sentiment, certainly not as a rhyming couplet.
Also, your lack of metre trips the poem up in several places. When you read poetry that is obviously meant to be a rhyming poem you should be reading:
ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da
not:
ta-da-ta-da-da-ta-da-da-ta-da
