Inches Do Count

> > 
INCHES DO COUNT Difference of inches Between, Pat on back Kick in the pants If good aim lack. Just say thank you Recognition send To fellow colleague Or beloved friend. Call or text message The least you can do Folks happy to hear “Was thinking of you.” Big tribute …Thank You, Create “Wall of Fame” Everyone appreciates When honor their name. Give heartfelt applause For job’s well done On family weekends With loved ones have fun. Three encouraging thoughts Write on paper strips pull out of mason jar Read on weekend trips. Call, leave a message Just say “I love you” To hear your dear voice Thrills them through and through. It’s the thought’s that counts Perk up someones day Last in the evening A prayer for them say. Not matter of inches In life every day Just matter of time Find something kind say. Barbara Barry-Nishanian Jan. 28, 2018

It is good to catch people doing things right. I find if I have high expectations of people, they usually meet them. Paradoxically when I have low expectations they are also met.

You certainly do things right! Taking time to comment and encourage my poetic efforts. My husband is amazed and shocked. Didn't know I wanted to try and write. Thanks to you and others being kind also. bbn

Good poem. The rhyme scheme and double entendre are a nice touch.
