Most of us can probably remember someone who made a difference in our lives, whether through a major act of generosity or something small that happened at just the right moment.
Perhaps it was a teacher who believed in you, a friend who stayed when things were difficult, a family member whose sacrifices you only appreciated later, or a stranger whose kindness you still remember.
Sometimes a simple "thank you" is enough. On other occasions, a poem or personal message can say something that ordinary words struggle to express.
A few questions for discussion:
- Is there someone you wish you'd thanked more fully?
- Have you ever received a poem or message of thanks that meant a great deal to you?
- Do you prefer sincere, straightforward words or something more poetic?
- Can a small act of kindness have a greater impact than an expensive gift?
- Is it ever too late to write a thank-you poem?
We've put together a collection of original thank-you poems for friends, family, teachers, carers, partners and other people who deserve appreciation.
