On That Note
Two tales of note regarding notes:
I watched my grandson’s band
And thought it was amazing, so
To take those thoughts in hand
I sent a little email
To the teacher, so she’d know
She deserved appreciation
For a well-delivered show.
She responded right away and seemed
Delighted I’d reached out.
A little note can lift one like
A whisper, not a shout.
The second note was written by
A doctor who’d not shown
For an early-morn appointment
(And his office didn’t phone).
The note was an apology;
He had a touch of flu
His toddler twins had passed to him,
As children often do.
That correspondence made me think
That notes, today so rare,
Don’t take a lot of effort
But let people know you care.
