On That Note

Two tales of note regarding notes:

I watched my grandson’s band

And thought it was amazing, so 

To take those thoughts in hand 


I sent a little email

To the teacher, so she’d know

She deserved appreciation

For a well-delivered show.


She responded right away and seemed

Delighted I’d reached out.

A little note can lift one like

A whisper, not a shout.


The second note was written by

A doctor who’d not shown

For an early-morn appointment 

(And his office didn’t phone).


The note was an apology;

He had a touch of flu

His toddler twins had passed to him,

As children often do.


That correspondence made me think

That notes, today so rare,

Don’t take a lot of effort

But let people know you care.
