Isn’t it nice …
Isn’t it neat …
when someone gives
you a gift - when you least
expect one?
A small white thin cardboard box
of specialty cookies –
a bottle of never heard of before wine –
a book of Mary Oliver’s poems –
and a compliment?
And you sit there sipping the wine,
eating two chocolate chip cookies –
reading a poem – but the sort of
sideways compliment – ends up
being the greatest gift you’ve
tasted in a long, long time.
Thank you.
