Don't thank me for moon washed trees of these

colder nights.

Don't thank me for the spit on February's chin ,

or, for,  the slow stumble toward summer.
Don't thank me for black walnuts, your next breath

or Apple pie.

No, don't thank me.

don't think twice...but

if you do...

please, please, don't blame me!

Some thoughts are suitable for framing -- and you framed this one well!
