.

You give me a present
placing it gently
into my hand
embarrassed for
yourself..
Pretty white and green
ribbons are set in a
delicately placed
arrangement on the
corner of the flowered
wrapping paper..
No card
I hold this gift
in my trembling hands
I look up at you looking
back at me
I wonder.

Such a beautiful thing,  something small
but precious..that makes the hand tremble
and the heart race out of control...

Merry Christmas Nance....you deserve all
the best..

Lovingly said and felt, Nancy Lee.  We need the word "beautyscape" for yours.  Hugs Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
