Poetry Notebook


When You Say Thanks

Poetry Notebook
Selected by Alinka España

Theme: Gratitude

Description: Often people forget the meaning of a simple sequence of two words: thank you. I think that their value has been under estimated and by doing such they are not used as much. We have always something to be thankful for; the simple things and people that give us joy are the ones we should express our gratitude the most. Also for the the sacrifices made for you. Be thankful, even if it’s just for another day in your life.

Synopsis: A selection of poems about being grateful for all things, no matter how big or small and the importance they have.
