The Waitress

she smiles 

after having worked long hours 

she shows you to your table

as you are the first for her to greet  


she smiles

so kindly to strangers  

new and exciting faces 

she has to cater to their needs


she smiles

holding a heavy tray 

she glides across the room ever so gracefully

 to deliver what is rightfully yours


she smiles

as you finish your meal 

and so generously 

pay for your meal


and as you leave 

another satisfied customer 

awaiting the next table

I smile

As someone who has experience in the service industry, I feel that these people need more respect and the average person would think about what they have to do on a normal basis.
