Appreciation
Written for my husband for when he feels underappreciated:
It’s sad to feel underappreciated
And that no one notices what you do
So here is a poem to be read
When underappreciation is making you blue.
I may not notice that your hair is shorter
But I do notice that there is no brown in the water.
I may not notice that the grass is cut and greener
But I do notice when my car is so much cleaner.
I definitely notice the basement and attic in our abode.
I always notice that each week the trash gets to the side of the road.
I do notice the amazing picture frames you made for Sophie.
And I notice that you never shirk from work that is grody.
I may not seem to notice all the big and little things you do
But I am forever appreciative of you.
