(So often we say thank you for the "things" people give us or do for us, but forget to thank our loved ones for the intangibles.)


I take every opportunity
to tell you I Love You,
but seldom do I manage
to add a Thank You too.

So now while I am sitting here
just thinking of your smile
let me tell you what I’m thankful for
though it may take a little while.

Thank you for your friendship
of course that is number one!
Thank you for your concern
when my life feels all undone.

Thanks a million for your shoulder,
I hope you don’t mind when it’s wet,
and thanks so much for giving me
moments I will not forget!

Thank you for understanding,
and for letting me be ME
but don’t let me forget to say
Thank you for Loving me!

Now if this seems all one sided
Darling, don’t you fret,
for this is still not everything
I haven’t said it all just yet!

For I still want to thank you
for feeling close enough to me
to let me know your troubles
and set your feelings free.

Thank you dear for talking,
when you need to let it out
and thank you for believing
I’m here for you without a doubt.

And Thank you Dear for knowing
that when I give you little things
it’s not the gift that matters
but that they each give my heart wings!

Thanks for learning, thanks for teaching,
thanks for sharing with me too,
and most of all, my Darling,
thanks for letting me Love you!

Poetry is an expression of feelings.  I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves.

Even words can become intangible, if not written down, from time to time, as you have done...

thank You!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

your meter and cadence are impecible!!
you are clearly a writer with experience and your writing style is so effective...
