Appreciation For Those Who Do When They Need Not To

A simple thank you goes a long way. It takes very little effort to appreciate one's actions.

I felt the picture tagged to this post goes well with what my point is here. I am guilty myself of not appreciating when appreciation is due.

Like I have stated before, there are so many things we take for granted. The trees, the stars, the ground we walk on, and those who do for others without being requested to do so.

There are so many great souls that travel far and wide to help others who have no connection to them, yet they find the need to help.

Everyone has a purpose and most of use it to its full potential. People going to third world countries and helping those who live in the true form of poverty.

Rappers and singers giving back to their communities and remembering the life they once lived. Those who on a regular given day feed and try to give them some warm attire.

I find it hard to believe they choose to do such good deeds for a thank you. I believe they do such honorable acts for the purpose of helping the world be a better place as well as putting a gentle smile on those who they have touched.

Here is a poem in dedication to them and to all of you as well.

You Did

You didn’t have to do all that you did
But you did
You didn’t have to give up so much time
But you did
You didn’t have to put yourself out like you did
But you did
You did when I didn’t expect you to
You did what no one else could
Thank you
For doing what you did
