Angels in Scrubs
By Kelly Roper
Angels in scrubs put their lives on the line
Helping the sick, putting patient needs
Before their own well-being.
Humanity's best who rise to the occasion;
They deserve our respect and gratitude.
With Thanks to My Hospice Team
By Kelly Roper
You met me at my lowest point
Struggling to accept my destiny.
You promised me you'd walk along
This difficult path with me.
Through the weeks, we built a bond,
And I learned to trust in you.
You were there for me to lean on,
No matter what I went through.
Some days were better than others,
Some days were far, far worse.
You cared for me and held my hand,
And let me cry, when needed, and curse.
But I wasn't the only one you helped,
You lent strength to my loved ones too.
I don't know how they'd have gotten through
Without so much support from you.
I realize now my time is short,
I'll be beyond pain and sorrow, it's true.
But I wanted to tell you before I pass,
I thank God for angels of mercy like you.

To My Wonderful Teacher
By Kelly Roper
I may not be your brightest student
But I tried as hard as I could.
You never gave up, explained things again,
And somehow I learned what you taught.
You called me out when I didn't give my best,
You never let me slide.
I'm better version of me because
You never gave up.
You taught me more than reading and writing,
More than math and science.
You taught me to be responsible and
Live up to my potental.
And for that, dear teacher,
I can never thank you enough.

And made lasting friendships too.
So I wanted to make sure that all of you know,
I'm thankful to have coworkers like you.

Thank You My Dear Neighbors
By Kelly Roper
Thank you, my dear neighbors,
I'm so glad you live next to me.
It's nice to have people to count on
In good times and times of tragedy.
If you ever need a helping hand,
Please know that I'm here for you too.
All you ever need do is reach out to me,
And I'll take your hand and see you through.
Thanks for Being a True Friend
By Kelly Roper
Your smiling face,
Your wonderful attitude,
Your sense of humor
When you say something crude,
Your automatic help
In times of need,
Your thoughtful advice
Which I usually heed,
Your faithful support
Whenever I'm down,
All make me sure
I'll always want you around.
So thank you, my friend,
For a relationship I treasure,
Because few things are more precious
Than a friendship that lasts forever.
Thank You Poems for Organizations

You Gave Me Hope
By Kelly Roper
Like a breeze that restores the soul,
Hope is a gift freely give given
By those who have it to those that don't.
Like the Phoenix that rises from the ashes,
I am renewed by the hope you've given me,
And I thank you endlessly for it.
How Can I Thank You?
By Kelly Roper
You fed my body,
You fed my soul.
You surrounded me in fellowship
When I had no one else to turn to.
You lifted me up from the
Depths of despair and showed me
I was worthy of love - God's love and everyone's love.
How can I thank you?
I can think of no better way than to pass on
All that has been given me to the next person in need.
Because Saying Thank You Is Important
People may not seek appreciation for the things they do for others, but it's important to give it to them any way. Poetry offers a beautiful way to do that, and it means so much more than a quick "thank you." Take time to gather your thoughts, and then either find a poem that expresses your gratitude or write one yourself. If you write what's in your heart, you'll create the most beautiful poetry in the world.
