A "Thank You" is a courtesy,
~ A mannerly expression.
It shows appreciation,
And makes a good impression.

Those who are considerate
And take the time to thank,
Are building up good karmic points,
In their karma banks.

"Please" is a platitude,
~ A show of non-aggression.
It is a word of askance,
Of honor and discretion.

Those who ask politely,
~ Others seldom do refuse,
So say your "Please" and "Thank you"s,
And mind your P's and Q's!

So cute, Earth Angel!  I would love to see your poetry put to an illustrated collection for people of all ages, young and old.  Let me know, PLEASE, if that ever happens.  And, THANK YOU, for penning this lovely reminder!  muy cinta, jo (muy = very; cinta = love)

Ah, please may I comment that I thank you for the smile?  Manners show respect for another, pure and simple.  As far as minding my pints and quarts, hmmmm, depends on the night (tee hee)

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Your reply warmed my heart more than I can express. Thank you very much, Dear Jo. I am saving your words of encouragement to my special file that I pop into from time to time whenever the sun slips behind the clouds.

Susan ~

My grandmother always told me to mind my P's and Q's. I hadn't realized that she meant my "pints" and "quarts"! lol

Thank you for your thoughtful reply ~ and for the smile that it gave me!

When we are being "creative", we are aligning ourselves with our Creator! So I thank you for the divine compliment! lol

Have a pleasant evening! Ooops! Not much of it left where I live! lol

To bring a smile
And a bit of fun,
Lights up my days,
With rays of sun!

Well that just made my day! Grandma Poet is saving a poem of mine for her two precious little angels ~ Delaney & Landry! They are as adorable as their names!

I do believe that my own two grandmothers are smiling down on me for this one! Yes, Nana Pat and Nana Red ~ I was listening! ~ and I still mind my P's & Q's! lol

Thank you!

Loving hugs for you, Delaney & Landry,
