Thanks For People Like You

THANKS FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU

by HELEN STEINER RICE



THERE'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET-
THAT PEOPLE WE'VE KNOWN OR HEARD OF OR MET
BY INDIRECTION HAVE HAD A BIG PART
IN MOLDING THE THOUGHTS OF THE MIND AND THE HEART-
AND SO IT'S PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE YOU
THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO,
FOR NO ONE CAN WIN JUST ON HIS OWN-
TOO BAD THERE AREN'T A WHOLE LOT MORE
PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO BE THANKFUL FOR.



THANK YOU-WHAT A LOVELY THING TO
DO AND JUST SO VERY TYPICAL OF YOU.
H.S.R.





WE WILL CELEBRATE AND PRAISE YOU, LORD!
YOU ARE GOOD TO US, AND YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS.
