Expressions of gratefulness need to be spoken,
Especially to those who are weary or broken.
Some folks work hard to serve and to please.
A big, hearty "Thank you" their tensions might ease.
Thankfulness shown brings good will and cheer,
A bright note which any and all like to hear.
People around us will know that we care
When we take the time our "Thank you's" to share.
