A Compliment

I've been handed a compliment,

And I don't know what to do.

It's genuine and simple.

Could it possibly be true?

 

It's too long since I received one,

Wrapped only by a smile.

It shocked me into feeling,

I haven't given one in a while.


The author's comments:

Real compliments are such rare things. I have found that some compliments are like candy, common and short-lived, but others are deeply touching. Sometimes I am totally unprepared for receiving a real compliment but it only makes me appreciate how rare and precious they are.
