Take time to notice, <br />What an attention given to others does. <br />So many unaccustomed to getting it, <br />Perceive with a belief it is theirs to stay... <br />And with a permanence. <br />People like this can sometimes be obnoxious. <br /> <br />Yet there are those who know how fleeting, <br />An attention given to them gets. <br />And with a thankfulness they remain gracious, <br />Not to fret or become upset... <br />With an acknowledgement whatever they've done, <br />In time everyone forgets.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
