The Unexpected Words of Gratitude
The unexpected words of gratitude
come out of the mouths that receive kindness;
I have noticed puzzled and despised looks
from some aquaintances and friends
who seemed baffled by my thankfulness
and honesty for being a very grateful dude.
Let them call me an imbecile or an idiot,
someone who values others' generosity;
they didn't provide for my needs in my strife!
I won't regret anything that feels right;
how could their greediness ignore my necessity,
if they never thought about my demise?
Is personal happiness a source of harmony,
if there's no willingness to share prosperity?
Give some of it away to make someone happy;
what good is it to have luck and be so greedy?
A treasure has to be guarded constantly from thieves
who can figure it out how to steal it with slickness.
