If I had a heart dip-stick
To measure the level of sincerity,
Like the engine dip-stick
That measures the level of engine-oil,
I would have sent it to you,
Together with this Thank-you Note,
So that you measure its sincerity;
For I know like me you receive
Many a Thank-you notes from people,
But sometimes
They are shallow and empty -
Meaningless imitations -
Mere by-the-ways but not
Genuine feelings of appreaciation.

This my Thank-you Note,
Is out of the depths of a heart,
Touched by noble words and or deeds;
Acts that testify God's love for me,
In my thankful and now singing heart
For all your unforeseen and unexpected
Acts of kindness and mercy
In my very desperate and stressful situation.

Many relatives and friends do I have,
But few ready-and-willing
Among them do I have.
For none had I seen when you came, ...
