Waiting For A Thank You

Do not ever expect a thank you When you do a favor for a friend, Do not seek their gratitude as a revenue If you do so, then do not ever borrow or lend. It is always better to give than it is to receive And sometimes it is better to wish than to believe; For a reward, don't ever expect praise or a flirt Then you will not ever be offended with feelings hurt. When for a friend you do them a favor Do it, but do not expert any gifts or applauds in return, Enjoy your kindness, and on that goodness just savor, But, forget about expecting gratitude and just learn. A mother goes into labor and gives birth to her child Someday an estranged husband and wife are reconciled; Pennies and wishes together in a jar are always collected Praise is a gift, it should be known and not expected.
