<h2 id="id00927" style="margin-top: 3em">Say "Thank You"</h2>
<p id="id00928" style="margin-top: 2em"> I saw a needy one relieved,<br/>
And forth he went, and glad,<br/>
But not one word of gratitude<br/>
That lightened spirit had.<br/>
His benefactor, bent by cares,<br/>
Went wearily all day;<br/>
While him his kindnesses had served<br/>
Went careless on his way.<br/></p>
<p id="id00929"> If you have given aught for me,<br/>
Ought not my voice return<br/>
One little word of graciousness?<br/>
O, breaking spirits yearn<br/>
Just for the human touch of love<br/>
To cheer the aching heart,<br/>
To brighten all the paths of toil,<br/>
And take away the smart!<br/></p>
<p id="id00930"> Say "Thank you!" then. 'Tis small enough<br/>
Return for help bestowed<br/>
Say "Thank you!" You would spurn to slight<br/>
The smallest debt you owed;<br/>
But is not this a debt?—Ah, more!<br/>
And honor, if true blue<br/>
Your loyal heart of rectitude,<br/>
Impels to say "Thank you!"<br/></p>
