There is a saying...

There is a saying...

“Share gratitude like a meal

And feed the hearts of the world.”

I cannot say thank you enough

For the all the blessings of this world

But a blessing has to be recognized

To be appreciated

I see a lot of people who just want to be

Appreciated for their very existence

They want all the appreciation

And the attention and the money and the power

Of course, I want this poem to be appreciated, too,

So I'm stuck in that mire like everybody else

Perhaps, real thank you's received are like little spoons

Which can be used to clear away a bit of the mud we're standing in

And if we gave out more thank you's carved from true appreciation

There might be less muck for us all to be stuck in.
