gratitude
Have I told you
recently
-ever-
how I feel?
How your words brighten my day?
How your presence makes me happy?
How I love it when you
-notice-
me?
Even for only a second or two.
In the midst of your busy life
In the midst of your many
problems
concerns
trials
tribulations
you take the time to say
"hello."
"I was here."
"I heard what you said."
It makes me smile. :)
I thought that maybe
I should tell you that.
Thanks for listening.

YOU'RE WELCOME
Beautiful.
I suppose you are stuck in a job that there is little chance for promotion. However I think that maybe there is a chance for either your artwork and stories should be noticed.
Where do we go? More likely what will life pounce upon us and drag us to? Maybe just the same old, same old, and we just grow old here at xanga.
Every so often we get inspired. Maybe a surprise every week is enough to help keep subscriptions up?
Gratitude is such an exquisite character trait.
@randaness -
@my0615 - Thanks. I was in a poetry mood today. :)
@PPhilip - Hmm. Well there is chance for promotion at my job, but I don't really want it. Funny you should mention the artwork because I was thinking I should get back to that at some point soon.
@ANVRSADDAY - It's not often expressed, is it? I felt like expressing it today. :)
Well written. We all need to hear that we are valued even if it is just a smile from the stranger during the day. A smile says a billion words of encouragement.
i have to agree with everyone...praise & saying i appreciate you do not flow as well as it should. Beautiful :)
Awesome poem...
You've never told me how you feel. I think we should go to counseling together to work this out.

@leaflesstree - As long as they can work on over eating, I'm in.
