Appreciation is the greatest human want because it is so rare.

Appreciation Appreciation the greatest human want Because it is so rare There are many who may rant But seldom do they care. The old man came every day To see his wife of many years Watching here slowly fade away He spoke to me through his tears. I was visiting my own true love Both our wives in special care Praying for help from up above A common pain for us both to bear. With anguished eyes he looked at me With breaking heart he gave a sigh With trembling lips he spoke to me Words of wisdom from angels high. Every day they looked after us. We always took them for granted. Cleaning and cooking never a fuss For support ,we never wanted. Now too late we understand There is no way to make it up No time left to give a hand We did not appreciate them enough. Words of truth that struck my heart Regret and guilt overwhelmed my mind Realizing with sorrow my own part That I too was not so kind. I write these words so you will know Every day to tell your wife How much you appreciate and love her so Every day for all your life. 　 Luke March 8^th 2010

Enjoyed your thoughts on appreciation, too often, we do appreciate, but in our hearts, we often know we could have done more, but in our own hearts, we always knew that we did not know until it was gone. thanks for sharing your deapest thoughts.
