Thanks For Thanking Poem by Francie Lynch

I should've written 'Thanks' across a blue sky,
Where the winds would carry my message
Around the world.
But I didn't.

I should've banged my pots and pans,
Put a sign out on my lawn,
Or at least on a forward facing window.
But I didn't.

I could've, with minimal exertion,
Clicked Like or Love
On one of the millions of gratitude posts
Praising them... Them,
The essential and not so essential workers
On our northern, southern, eastern and western Fronts.
But I didn't.

So,
I will now say,
'Thank You'
To all those who expressed 'Thank You'
To all those who have kept us healthy, safe and secure:

'THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.'
