So you want something polite .... something like thank you? Well, let Emile explain these words
Two words, often spoken
in appreciation,
like a polite token
during conversation.
A halfhearted gesture
delivered on the run,
a meaningless measure,
habitually done.
Seething with attitude,
yet, politically correct,
a shallow platitude
just short of disrespect.
A offhanded attempt
to cite gratitude due,
for it reeks of contempt
when someone snaps...thank you!
Yet, when spoken with love
they represent much more,
a genuine feeling,
is the goal you strive for.
And spoken from the heart
they uplift someone's pride,
and soon a smile appears,
for they feel good inside.
