Thank You

Thank you
for always being there
even if you never realized it. 
Your slight smile
The laughter in the air
The glance my direction.

 

It makes me realize
that I am not invisible
as this society we live made me think.
The head nod
The acknowledgement
The sighting

 

All those Tumblr posts
Stop Scrolling!
and if you are reading this
remember you are loved.
Someone cares
Someone will notice
We do not want to gain another star.

 

To all those text post authors 
and rebloggers
thank you.
for reblogging it at the right moment
on the right day
to be seen by the right person.

 

So the world needs to know
you child's smiley hello
is not something to hush them about.
Children know when people need them,
their gentle hello and 
shy goodbyes.

 

So always offer those gestures that seem odd
because they may brighten one person's day.
A person who was seeing black and white,
but will now see the colors of the world.
So on their behalf -- 
Thank You.
