The gift
We dine,
loved ones surround us,
many,
or perhaps just one,
candles,
special foods
exorbitant prices,
beautiful atmosphere,
the gentle quiet talking,
reaching across the table
touching the others hand,
toasting fine wines,
smiling,
laughing,
all given freely,
the meal is the gift of something passing,
yet
it will live on in memory,
for what better gift than a beautiful meal,
service,
money spent because of love.
