How do we say thank you
for lending us your home?
Should we send flowers?
Should we send sweets?
No! We should write a poem.
To thank you for the miles you drove;
for all the food to eat.
To thank you for the things you cleaned
and nights you did not sleep.
To thank you for the car we used
and for your evenings spent;
putting children back in bed…
and all without our rent.
And yet we want to thank you
with more than just a poem.
So how about we’ll leave you both
quiet and alone?
with more than just a poem.
So how about we’ll leave you both
quiet and alone?
