What sort of word is gratitude?
It pays back nought in gold or green,
But only has the aptitude
To give a man a friendly bent.
It can’t be bought for retail price,
Though in a gift it’s often seen,
It can’t be won at cards or dice,
It’s rarely kept, but never lent.
What then does this word “gratitude”
Entail in truth to you or me?
It cannot e’er be captured or sued,
It is a simple love you see.
