Gratitude and Appreciation



Are these the same
Except for name
I don't think so
One is a step beyond

When I'm grateful
And I am
I give conscious thanks
Aware of all I have

When I appreciate
I value the gift, gesture
encouraging words
All rise in estimation

So are these the same
except for name
close
They encompass each other


Thanks to Teaching Authors for this Thanks-Giving
prompt.

  1. A lovely poem, Annis. Thanks for participating in our Three Weeks of Thanks-Giving. I've added a link to this post from our round-up: http://www.teachingauthors.com/2014/11/three-weeks-of-thanks-giving-wrap-up.html
