Thank You
Two words often spoken
in appreciation
like a polite token
during conversation.
A halfhearted gesture
delivered on the run
a meaningless measure
habitually done.
Seething with attitude
yet politically correct
a shallow platitude
just short of disrespect.
A offhanded attempt
to cite gratitude due
and it reeks of contempt
when someone snaps...thank you!
Yet when spoken with love
they represent much more
a genuine feeling
is the goal you strive for.
And spoken from the heart
they uplift someone's pride
and a smile soon appears
for they feel good inside.
