Thankfulness and Thoughtfulness

Thankfulness and thoughtfulness are two things we need more.
Selfishness and slothfulness can make loved ones grow sore.
When we think of others in thankful, thoughtful ways,
Do they respond in kindness to us throughout our days?

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”,
Are words from the Master that grow more sure and true.
If we share with our loved ones in honest careful ways,
Will they become more opened throughout life’s passing days?

Whenever we are thoughtless and selfish in our acts,
Do those we should have cared for feel our cold attacks?
Are our greatest riches found in friends and family?
Does their love for us grow stronger with gentle honesty?

Must we watch and reflect on what we say and do?
Repent when we’ve done wrong and selfish acts burn through?
Ask for forgiveness and forgive whenever sin breaks through?
Will thankfulness and thoughtfulness grow more strong and true?
