Good Morning, Good Night and Thank You
He followed the same routine…the same ritual every night
A goodnight kiss
an ‘I love you’
then a thank you before turning off the light.
In the morning…the same routine he followed in the night
a good morning kiss,
an I love you
then a thank you after turning on the light.
One day she asked him, “The way you say good night and good morning is something I adore
I understand the kiss
and the I love you…
but what are you thanking me for?”
His cheeks began to redden and a smile crossed his face
then he took her hand in his with a kind of elegance and grace.
In the evening I am thankful for another day to look back on with you
and in the morning I am thankful for another day to look forward to.
Now it was her turn to smile as she became aware
from that moment on in their marriage it’s a routine they would share.
