Appreciated

appreciation 
is like: 

a warm shower 
after a long day 
out in the cold
or like a sunbeam 
that breaks 
through the clouds 
to warm 
the top of your head

it’s like 
a loving hug 
after a long period 
of loneliness 
or a belly laugh 
after 
a good cry

oh, how i want 
for you
to feel 
appreciated
