It is the thought that counts I’ve heard,
meaning I didn’t really think this through
and so I have the reaction of a thought
I have the shadow of a decision
I have the whisper of a notion.

I have the feelings in my heart and soul
that matter more than material gold.
that matter more than planning for
something not found in an empty store
and the day of days is here so soon.

So if you are the un-planning partner
and your heart is giving what the mind
could not, and your time has simply run out
just remember it is the thought that counts
and Seven-Eleven is open on Christmas day! 🤪
