55 Thanks isn't enough


Can you thank someone who has made sacrifices and
worked until they dropped?
Handled adversity and taken care of the sick,
knowing all along they needed a hand to hold
or a shoulder to cry on
when none was available.
It may not be much,
but take my hand and accept my love.
You’re deserving.


This is a Flash Fiction Friday 55.
If you want to know what the hell that means visit g-man. The challenge is on.
Or Try my Sunday 160.

I somehow think that a simple Thank You may be all thats needed.
Excellent 55 MM...
I read your previous post as well.
Hats off to you brother...
Thanks for visiting, and helping to make Fridays so much fun.
Have a Kick-Ass Week-End....G

Excellent 55 and great reminder that "in giving we receive". My first time here...nice to meet you!

By not being "much" and by being offered from the heart; there is no bigger thing to lean on.

This was great-- simple, lyrical, and from the heart. Thanks..

I also read your previous post. I'm a CT technician, and I love a happy ending. The part at the end where the tech says "get up, I got another body waiting" made me wonder if I sound like that. Some days are so busy, I know I rush people. Anyway, it was interesting to see it through your eyes.

And...God bless.

How wonderful to be moved enough to offer a needed hand. So many people, if they see the need at all, are afraid to reach out.
