Gratefulness

by Mylandria Hunter

Who can be grateful?
Anyone can be grateful
Do you know how to be grateful?
Many people do
Are you one of the few?
Who can not only but also do
Having the desire to thank somebody
Having the will power to thank somebody
Showing the desire to thank somebody
Showing your love to somebody
Showing your appreciation to somebody
Showing your gratitude to somebody
Feeling thankfulness for somebody
Being willing to thank somebody
Expressing thanks to somebody
So when you think of the word gratefulness
Are you grateful for somebody?




Respect

Unknown

Respect, it’s far more than not stepping on someone’s shoe. It comes down to all the decisions you choose.

Respect, It needs to be given in order to be “got”, it ain’t all about being the hottest person on the block.

Respect, show a sense of self-control and when all hope is lost, you’ve got your pride to hold.

You shout about the lack of respect, but you need to do something about it, nothing will get accomplished by arguing, fighting and shouting.

Before you walk out that door, do a double check, cause you ain’t ready to leave without your respect.

For others and yourself and all the hatred that you felt, it’s gone, it’s been erased. It needs to be replaced.

Before you take a step, check your respect.

It doesn’t start with beating someone up in the bathroom. To tell you the truth it doesn’t start in the streets, Respect starts with you.
