An Example of True Upliftment and Sincere Appreciation

i give her a hug as she shows me her degree i reward her with encouragement and a chocolate shake so many of those close to us tried with everything in them to bring her down yet she kept her eyes locked on the goal and the work it included i then present her with a ticket for a caribbean cruise for seven days and seven nights her tears showed me all the gratitude i needed to see no words were necessary now if i had the power, i would tackle the devil hard and put a bullet through his head then again, that is not the kind of man i was made to be in God's eyes in her own quiet way, she allows her success to be her publicist caring for those who care for her, she presents myself and others with a special gift of her own it is a token with the word APPRECIATION in all caps engraved on it we all say she did not have to she expresses the contrary here stare lets silences us gracefully in understanding the vibe now festive, we celebrate a deserved individual who made it....
