You know you’re appreciated when
By Shanda White – September 2018
When you’re praised without doing
When you’re given thanks because
There is nothing more than feeling appreciated,
best feeling next to being loved.
You know you’re appreciated when
You’ve been gone for awhile, or have been far away
Yet the moment your presence returns
You put a smile on someone’s face.
You know you’re appreciate when
You feel proud of what you do
And the fact that you’re able to lead others
And they look up to you.
Appreciation is something you give
Appreciation is something you feel
You know you’re appreciated when
Everything you do is God’s will.
