Samples of writing which you can choose on the order form when you create your own special MIB...
I wanted to send
you flowers,
but the flowers would soon die.
I wanted to send you tears of joy,
but tears would soon dry.
I wanted to send you laughter,
but couldn’t catch it if I tried.
I tried to send you silliness,
but got obstructed by my pride.
I thought long and hard on what to send you;
it needed to be great.
It finally came upon me,
as it was getting very late.
I bottled you message
filled with all of the above…
And I knew that all things in it,
you would truly love.

When you open up this bottle
And read these words from me
Press your ear so gently to the top
And listen to the sea.
For the sea, it speaks of friendship
Such as ours – that lasts so long
That even Heaven’s nightingale
Can’t sing another song.
When you hear the waves a’ rolling
And you dream of ocean blue,
Know that I will always be there
When you need a friend that’s true.
If you need me, you can call me,
If you can’t, I’ll be right here
In this bottle, in this message,
With my love -- I will be near.

Apology
I never meant to hurt you
or cause you any pain.
If I could, I’d reach out
And take it back again.
I’d crush your grief and anguish
And bottle it so tight,
That never would it once again
Be seen in bright daylight.
And then I’d take that bottle
And fling it in the sea.
And let the waters take it
Far away from you and me.
The ebb and flow of ocean tides
Might bring the bottle back.
But ocean’s magic would have changed
To white from basic black.
The message in the bottle,
Would sing of nothing past.

Inspiration # 5
I’ve been watching your storms as they pass
you by…
I watch you bear your burdens all on your own…
You think no one notices the pain that you suffer…
I wanted to tell you, that you’re not alone.
You have a Friend who will take them from you…
Your burdens are His, not yours alone…
You have a Friend holding you close when you cry…
You have a Friend seated on a heavenly throne.

Get Well
I heard that you were rather low,
That you’d been feeling ill.
I glanced around to find a gift
That sends a tiny thrill.
This bottle stood up tall and waved
And said, “How do you do?
I’d like to take your message
To your friend who’s feeling blue.”
I stared at it a moment,
Then I knew that it was right.
For this bottle’s filled with love and joy
And wishes oh so bright.
It holds a wish that your good health
Returns in just a blink.
Another wish that soon you’re back
And feeling in the pink.
And since the bottle chose you
(Though I wasn’t a hard sell…)
I’ll join it in it’s mission
We’ll both say, “Get Well Soon!

From a Mother to her Daughter
I’ve watched you blossom from
a delicate flower
into a young woman with the power and determination
to accomplish anything she sets her mind to.
I remember just yesterday when I held you in my arms
and you would twist my hair through your fingers.
I remember how you would come to me when
you were hurt or sad and I’d wipe the tears
away
and make everything all better with just a kiss.
Eventually a kiss didn’t take away the hurts
that you endured,
but you overcame them effortlessly,
and you made me proud.
You will always be my baby,
but now you are also a grown woman
that I am proud to call my daughter.
I want you to know how proud
I am of your achievements.
You are everything I hoped you would grow up to be,
and then some.
You are my daughter,
and I love you.
