To Hear A Thank You

Why do you spend hours
Painting pictures to view?

Why do you spend time
Giving cards that you drew?

Why do you share thoughts
Writing poems to debut?

Why do you share resources
Cooking a hot, savory stew?

Why do you do
The things that you do?
Cuz sometimes it’s delightful
To hear a thank you!

Why do you show patience
Mending the shattered with glue?

Why do you show perseverance
To help others get through?

Why do you share expertise
To teach someone how to?

Why do you do
the things that you do?
Cuz sometimes it’s pleasant just
To hear a thank you!

Why do you spend energy
Without a gross revenue?

Why do you show efforts
That don’t fit the world’s view?

Once in a while it’s heartwarming,
Even If only sent by a few,
To make people happy, to make people smile,
And to receive a heartfelt thank you!
