Thank You
by R.D.
This poem is for all who help people like me
For all who care about Free Minds
People who sit there and do things
Even if they don’t have time
I want you to know the things you’ve been doing
Is helping change over time.
Even if it don’t feel like it
I’m letting you know
The gratitude I have for you
I will never let go
So all who help Free Minds
Help me and others
We want to thank you
Your help left a dent that is forever.

My daughter is working with Free Minds this summer … I’m sure she’ll be thanking YOU for all she’s learned from YOU. God Bless .
RD,
This is a beautiful poem. It’s apparent that your appreciation is genuine, which alone is exactly what makes this program so worthwhile; I’m just as greatful that you and so many are willing to be open and express so many ideas to those of us here involved with Freeminds. The line “I want you to know the things you’ve been doing Is helping change over time” stands out to me because this poem was posted in 2012, now here I am a decade later in 2022 still feeling positively impacted by your words! I hope that you’re still writing today!
I love this as I love expressing my perspective on others’ poems and art. Thank you for telling us about your feelings. This poem is so sweet and beautiful in telling thanks for others. Thank you for sharing.
