  4. The Difference You Have Made
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    You will never know
    The difference you have made.
    You, in my life,
    I would never trade.

    Your thoughtfulness is shown
    In your kindness and caring ways.
    When my life was full of clouds
    You brought the sunshine rays.

    The words, thank you,
    Just don't seem to express,
    The difference you have
    Made in my happiness.



  5. People To Thank
    Poet: Julie Hebert ©2011


    Over the years there's been so many,
    People I needed would thank.
    These people are those who always rose,
    Whenever I needed a yank.

    If I was calling and needed some help,
    These people were always there.
    To pick up their hats, and jump in a stat,
    No questions or even a snare.

    They fought for me without a question,
    They were always on my side
    And when hugs were needed, I was always greeted,
    With warm and tenderized pies.

    I know I've thanked them, but often wonder,
    Do they realize this much?
    They've been my saviors, with such great behavior,
    I hope I've inherited their great touch.

    I’m blessed each day to call you you.



  8. You Saved My Life
    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011


    I first must say you'll never know,
    How much you've saved my life.
    You may feel less but really I'm blessed,
    You helped removed so much of my strife.

    I was not happy and felt lost at times,
    You helped me settle down.
    Just being there and listening with care,
    Helped keep me from skipping town.

    I know you feel  you didn't do much,
    But I'm here to tell you, you  are free.
    Without your love and regard for my life,
    I don't know where I would be.

    So please pay attention to what I am saying,
    As this is so very grave.
    I must thank you for seeing what I didn't know was there,
    You have no idea what you have gave.



  9. Sometimes the people in our lives do not realize how important they are to us and how much we appreciate them.  Surprise them with a thank you poem letting them know what they mean to you.


    when I count my blessings, I count you, my friend, twice



  10. There Are Friends
    Poet: Byron Pulsifer, ©2019


    There are friends who are just there
    And then there are friends who really care
    There are friends in the good times
    And there are friends who won't lend you a dime.

    You, my friend, show by your actions that you care
    In bad and good times you are always there.
    You're the type of friend I hope to be
    You set the example I hope you see.

    Thank you, my friend, for who you are
    In my books, you are a star.
    Thank you for your love and kindness to
    I wish only happiness for you!
