Day 8 by Karen MichelleTwo little words. Often times mistakenly strung together. The simplicity of them. And the power. Gratitude. For another. So logical and yet so foreign. I should know better than to await them. From you. Of all people. You take so effortlessly, rarely give. I have lost count of the nonreciprocal lunches paid for and gifts proffered. Were you raised this way or shaped by recent experience? Do you live like this out in the world or only in this microclimate? Do you think once given, you will be bound forever? Don't worry. You've taught me well. Expect nothing. Thank You. 06/20/2017 Posted on 06/21/2017 Copyright © 2025 Karen Michelle
