It's the kindly little thoughts you think,
The kindly deeds you do,
That make the thankful people
Think a lot of me and you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I just found a notebook that I turned in as an assignment for my tenth grade speech class (many, many years ago) ! This notebook had two of my original poems, written especially for that class. One of them (The Woodpecker)I remembered, but this shorter one presented here I had completely forgotten about.
I have taken the liberty of correcting my two misspellings of 'kindly' and the one of 'thankful'.
I know it's not great, but I was excited to find it. I was only fifteen years old when I wrote it.
I will also be posting 'The Woodpecker' after I finish posting this one.
Two of my lost poems found, and they weren't even mentioned in my poem LOST POEMS!

submitted midnight plus one minute Utah time 15 Dec 2015

I see that the time on my camera is incorrect. It is still set for the time in Recife, Brazil, which is four hours later than Utah time right now.

Correction: When I submitted the poem, I said it was for one of my eighth grade classes. I turned in a similar notebook in eighth grade. However, a more careful inspection of the notebook today reveals that it was for my speech class. I only had a speech class in tenth grade, so my apologies. (15 Dec 2015 5: 10 p.m. Utah time)

I must have been in a hurry to turn the notebook in to have three careless mistakes (not counting the cross-out)in the same short poem!
