Missed strokes

It isn’t difficult
Greeting some one
‘Good morning’
Say ‘Thank you’, for favors

Life, an experience
Make it more exciting
Appreciating others
Making them, feel good

To feel good
A desire n need
  For all, at all times
Yet, always missed

Its human nature
To insist from others
Love n affection
 A irresistible urge
‘Need to feel good’

Yet, refuse others
Returning the same
Cause pain, misunderstanding
N mistrust

Fulfilling own obligations
Isn’t, sufficient enough
 Put that extra step
Be, bit more human

  Choose special days
 Of remembrance, birthdays
Marriage anniversaries
  A day, make some one important

 An expression, positive
  To others n cosmic nature
Our reason for existence

 Stop, complain not

What we miss
  But being positive
Recognize others’ n your own worth

I agree with Beautifully Tragic about the 'n' and 'and' bit.

Other than that this is a brilliant write. Appreciation should come naturally to us. But caught in life's troubles we are often too self absorbed and don't stop to smile at a child or when we see a beautiful flower. It's important to let those who are important to us know that they ARE important to us.

Thanks for posting this. I'm sure all of us are going to take something out of this write.


Thanks for the read request.

Reading this fascinated me as I feel in the far opposite mood to the one you describe here. I once wrote a poem called Practical Misanthropy but did not think it worth showing to anyone...after all your view, not mine, is the better way to approach life.

What lovely thoughts on the way things ought to be. Thank you for sharing. Well expressed.

I enjoyed this piece. It showed us what should be done, rather then telling us of the problems that society seems to have and rant about.

You have put together images of hope and understanding in the world of the heart. Making them easily seen by those that read this.

Wonderful Poem!

very serene and insightful. a great way to tell others to show love to everyone around you, i really thought this is beautifully writtten. well done here, i enjoyed it all. :)

[Penny Lusk]

Nicely written, the poem is like a gentle form of "a way to live" kind of moral thing. I enjoyed it!

Having or showing a pleasant and obliging disposition is a quality which should be mutually contagious. Alas, this is not always the way of this world we live in - but giving up on the idea is not a option. I had a look at how this works with the 'YouTube' video and was impressed at how more impacting and extra dimensional the poem becomes in that format. Great job!

What a wonderful piece with such a wonderful message. One could easily mistaken this as a thought of the day piece or even something to live by.

Great expressions, I really enjoyed reading this!

Ok just one thing.... The N instead of And kind of through me off and the missing words in there confused me but the poem itself as far as message is fantastic....

It is amazing how simple it is to put others first once it is in your mind to do so. It doesn't take a great deal of planning. It doesn't even take time. Just a decision to remember those close to you and the effort to SHOW the ones you love that you truly love them. Well done.
