I Do Like Appreciation Poem by Gert Strydom

I do like appreciation
and of it I can never get enough.
Not just to say thank you
but to know that you are thinking of me.

As a mark of your love
it can forever stay with me
and I do like your words:
“you are everything to me.”

But I also believe in deeds
that can gladden my heart
if you can
just give me something
that I know comes from your heart
-to treasure and to keep-
and it will bring you nearer here to me.

Just any thing that you do possess,
even if it is small in value
to me is more than anything here on earth
and I am asking
for something to express your love for me.
