Appreciative


Someone picks up a pen for you, do you say thank

you?

someone pushes your chair in, do you say thank you ?

someone holds the door for you, do you say thank

you?

someone returns your lost lost money do you say thank

you ?

Food on the table,  clothes on your back roof over your

head, do you say thank you?

Do you say a prayer thanking the heavenly father 

above for all he has done ?

God has made a miracle and helped you through a

difficult time do you say thank you?

When we were given the freedom to sit in the same

class regardless of skin color,

Are we grateful? Or do we still go around calling each

other my nigga 

Do we thank those we've been around everyday

for helping us? 

Spending more time here than with thier families. 

Do we thank our clinicans for walking after they make a phone

call for us.

Are we thankful for waking up being able to see

another day?

Thankful: glad that something happened or not happened , that something or someone exists?

what are you thankful ?
