I Have Been Saying Thank you

I have been saying thank you,

But never said it gratefully.

Saying it for it's a usual word,

But realized the method of thank you

Should be done like it's the last time I say it.

The method I said thank you after eating

Was a mistake because

Now the same taste is gone forever, never to return.

I saw the need to say thank you with all of my heart,

Like it's the last time I say it.

I have been saying thank you,

Because everyone else did,

And it's a casual thing to say.

But soon, I saw that my thank you

Should be a thank you that will move mountains.

For if it moves mountains, it should move you.

For the things I wear

Need a thank you found somewhere over the rainbow.

Now the fashion's taste and style are gone forever, never to return.

It pained me for not saying that thank you,

Found somewhere over the rainbow to you, mum

I have been saying thank you,

For it was always a thing to say when someone helps you,

And everyone else did it, so did I.

But immediately, the help stopped coming in 2016. 

The thank-you seized up, for the reason to say it stopped.

Now, when boys and girls trouble me,

I don't know what to do 

For the one speaking on my behalf is gone forever never to return.

It hurt all the time she spoke on my behalf, I said thank you, mum,

But the thank you was from the mouth and not the heart.

Don't know if it is too late,

But everyone else, including you, said it's never too late to do anything.

Distance is never a barrier.

So, where ever you may have journeyed to,

Thank you, and this time it is a thank you said like it's the last time I'm going to say it.

Thank you, and this is a thank you found somewhere over the rainbow.

And thank you from the heart, and not the mouth, which you alone understands.
