All I Get

Writer: Raghed Hamza

A smile and a thanks

All I get, for all my sweat

A groan and a frown

All I get, for all my wreck

But the gratitude, however fleeting

Makes me forget all my dread

A smile and a thanks

All I get for being supportive

A sigh and a whine

All I get for my every request

And I still feel my heart aching

While I nod my head along

A smile and a thanks

All I get for never saying no

A grimace and a scowl

All I get for wanting to better myself

And I keep up with it always

As she is my best friend
