DON’T FORGET
DON’T FORGET
Please don’t give me credit for what any man would do
Please refrain from sending thank you letters to me from you
A pat upon my back is just not needed every time
I do things out of goodness from within this heart of mine
A helping hand when lifting bags or help to cross the road
There’s nothing too much trouble just to lighten someone’s load
I don’t do things for favour I just do things that bring joy
Fixing broken household stuff and that little kiddies toy
Some people give me kisses and a few they give me hugs
For getting rid of vermin and some horrid little bugs
People buy me presents as their way of saying thanks
While others give me money to put in the different banks
Just helping make life easier when things are getting tough
Is how you can remember me and that will be enough

Yes.We know where you're coming from here.I like the way the words all fit.It must be kind of an honour to have DU feature this one on its random poem section-but it's certainly well deserved for a well crafted poem with feel-good factor to boot.Did this poem almost write itself once you got going?It looks that way to me.
