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.
