Notes About The Poem

UNWRAPPED

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ beneath the bruise of twilight, a stranger’s spare coin dropped into his cup~ copper warmth against winter’s bite. the way my mother’s voice smiles when she says, Eat while it’s still hot. these gifts: unwrapped, unearned.

A lovely way to pay tribute to the big and little kindnesses along the way that must not be taken for granted ever.
