Thank You

Thank You

All she said was “Thank You”
The only two words that filled her mind
Nothing else…

Who could had imagined that two words joined together would create such a powerful force? 
To which ease the minds of others to show appreciation
That can calm emotions, begin friendships, and even create a smile
Two short words that have the power to possibly alter your life’s pathway
Funny how hard those words are sometimes hard to find

We allow ourselves to get in the way of kindness
The wall of stubbornness peaks through the door, breaking down any thoughts
Clouds overcome our judgement and we allow ourselves to get in the way of doing what is right
How uncanny the simplest of gestures can make everything okay

Just two short words…Thank You
