A Beautiful Gift

I awoke to find this in my inbox and published on our local Patch this morning, by writer, blogger, poet Elizabeth G. Howard.  What a delightful surprise!  Thank you, Elizabeth.

This poem is dedicated to my lovely friend Jamie, who lives here, though we hardly see each other.

Bread

Bread is as
Simple to
Make
As a friendship.
Isn't it
Just those few
Common ingredients?

Salt
Flour
Water
Yeast 

Just as easy as

Attention
Patience
Time
Room to grow.
