Thank You

Thank You

This poem was written for the thank you note that I sent to Jerry and Sherri Bletzacker. Analia, Jenny and I had gone to Sacramento for the weekend for a visit with Analia's mother and our friends, the McCoys. Monday afternoon Analia's back started hurting and by evening she couldn't stand up straight. We don't know if it was the long ride in the car or just sleeping in a strange bed but she was flat on her back the rest of the week. Wednesday evening when I got home from work, Jerry and Sherri were there with dinner. The meal was very nice but that wasn't the best thing. I could always go out for dinner or fix it my self but you can't get friends like these at McDonalds.

Thank You

Thank you for being
So thoughtful and sweet
And bringing us dishes
Of good things to eat.

Thank you for being
So loving and kind.
You're truly the best friends
We ever could find.

When we were found wanting,
You met every need.
You dropped what you were doing
And came with great speed.

When life runs amuck
Or plans go awry,
When your health's out of whack
And you're ready to cry,

When you're down in a funk
And turning right blue,
It's super to know
That we've good friends like you.
