Pat On the Back

Pat on the back makes someone eased, 
Filling the heart with joy or pride; 
It makes one feel so excited, 
Setting all of his fears aside.

Negative thoughts are thrown away,
Bringing them all to oblivion; 
Exulting in sheer happiness, 
He has leaped for satisfaction. 

Discarded doubts are left behind, 
Never will they remain on track; 
Real confidence will truly boost 
Because of the pat on the back.

A lovely and meaningful poem, Bernard. Even a little bit of encouragement is sufficient to boost a person's flagging self esteem. Regards / paul
