That’s the first quarter done!
This Thank you Thursday poem is for Annette, with gratitude.
___________
You say you think we’re quite alike
You try to buy the things I like
You want to drive us everywhere
I know you care.
You pay for things we can’t afford
You pay for bras and trips abroad
You’re waiting for us in the car
I know you are.
I don’t know where to put my face
How to accept these gifts with grace.
It always leaves me feeling scared
And unprepared.
You say you think that I’m like you
So maybe you feel awkward too.
You said you’d read my poems so
At least you’ll know.
