APPRECIATION

by

Dorothy E. King

you ask me what i want from you

well, i’ll tell you

i want to be appreciated

i want you to  acknowledge my specialness

i want my achievements

to be lined up in your memory

like trophies on a mantel

i want you to be overwhelmed sometimes

by my talents

i want you to feel in awe

i want you to applaud my successes

and celebrate my triumphs

i want you there with champagne for my victories

 i want you there with a shoulder for my tears

i want you to realize that the time i have put/do put

into myself

is to make our relationship better

i want you to encourage my efforts

even if it means i surpass you!

i want you to take my seriousness, seriously

and respond accordingly

i want to be appreciated

for all the special, little things

that make me, me

i want to be appreciated

SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION NOW!
