i’d like to think
companionship is gift
we give each other
mutual mutuality
congenial congeniality
a cup of tea and poetry
in the garden
beg God’s pardon
walked together three
traditions worthy
bring dear family in
closer company
grand alma mater’s
anthem sings loyal
camaraderie
as faith enables
hungry sinners join
around graced table
dare to cross borders
dare not burn bridges
open eyes to see
friendly faces in
surprising places
tap hearts deep spaces
to simply be present
(and mostly pleasant)
is love’s best present!
