Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy lady.

"Two Small Words"

"Thank you" two small words that mean a lot

To those who have, and those who have not

These two small words can bring a smile

When they haven't been heard for a while

A helping hand, an open door

When put with a thank you, they mean much more

We teach our children these two small words

But sadly for some they are never heard

To the lonely woman across the street

These two small words would sound so sweet

We only need to make the time

She could be your mother, or even mine

The old man in the hospital bed

The one who needs some help to be fed

He's unable to speak, so his heart and

his eyes say thank you instead

These two small words for some are hard to say

It doesn't matter, it's just their way

When you know in your heart you've done your best

Let it go, let the matter rest.

An empty thank you brings no gain

Just thank heaven we are not all the same

When you thank the father in heaven above

Make sure it's sent with all your love

Thank him for the little showers that bring along the little flowers

Gather them in, give them away, go on make somebody's day

You'll get a thank you and then you will see

How uplifting a "thank you" can be.
