The Gift of Appreciation


Senior year I begin, New costs and less money It’s time to step up A new chance to grow, A new chance to learn, The burns and backaches, The stress and headaches. Constrain all my thoughts Put up with complains. Ask questions and learn, Remember to smile and never be rude. Follow the rules; keep one thing in mind Despite all that comes “the customer is always right” Remember no arguing and always keep smiling. New friends and frustrations Less free time, less sleep time. Wake up in the morning get ready for work. Although I complain When the paychecks arrive, It’s all worth my time. Appreciate what I have Only buy what I need, Since working has taught me That money doesn't grow on trees.
