Gifts were left upon your front doorstep.
Flower bulbs to plant, then sprout and bloom.
Bottled wine from vineyards near and far.
The ones who know you best
display concern.
Their hopes and dreams,
and smiling tenderness.

The times require distancing today,
but here is what you need
to safely stay
at home where nothing harmful may draw near.
Necessities of life may be enjoyed,
from Nature's bosom, all her bounty shared,
that you may still be touched and feel the love.

Today you rack the bottles, draw a cork.
A  glass is filled,
You toast your beauteous world.
