Please is such,
A simple word,
When it said,
And when it’s heard.
It is so easy,
To be kind.
I swear to you,
No one will mind.
And if you plan,
To be that way,
Then just perhaps,
It’ll make your day.
Beam a smile,
Towards another,
And in return,
He’ll be your brother.
If it’s done,
With studied ease,
The world will change,
If we say please

Awwww, love the gorgeous fur ball. I love today’s poem too. Timely message, worth repeating. Although none of us should need to be reminded to be kind or to share a smile. Would I like to read more of your awesome poems? Yes, please!

I love that fluff at the top. I can still here my father saying, “what do we say?” And “how do we ask?” Simple lessons with lasting results. Great poem, Pam.

I always enjoy your playful rhythm. Well done … and an FYI about please. Although I don’t hear at as much as I did when I first arrive in Cincinnati (1976), people would say “please?” to mean way it again – would you repeat that? Yep … probably a local thing.

Nice Pam. A simple word that means so much and isn’t used half as often as it should be IMO.
