A Thank You Unspoken Poem by Vanessa Dizon Alvarez

We give, we try, we lend our light,
In moments lost to silent night.
No echo comes, no praise, no cheer,
Just empty space where thanks might appear.

Yet still we sow with tender grace,
A kindness time cannot erase.
Though hearts we touch may never show
The seeds we plant, the love we grow.

Perhaps one day, a thought will rise,
A memory beneath their skies—
Of someone who believed, who cared,
Whose gentle strength was always there.

Until that dawn, please hear this now:
A thank you whispered, soft and proud.
For all you gave, for all you are—
You've lit the world, a quiet star.
