Realities we all share...

          A Package Arrives 
 (to my friend Carrie-Anne) 

A large brown box
Sits up against my door
It’s addressed to me 
Wow! 
What could this be?  
I tear off the package tape 
Smile as I open one flap 
then two
It’s not even Christmas... 
A four-pack of puff tissues 
Four boxes of yogi tea
and a grin
giggle from me 
How did she know? 
I could use both and 
What I need most 
Doesn’t come in a box 
Kindness
Humor
Generosity 
Love—
My friend delivers 
Every.
Time.

“There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.”
