A Gift

After church, my friend gave me a gift.
Wrapped in burlap, with a red-patterned ribbon,
I found inside a bath scrub,
Made of coconut oil, lime, and sugar,
An edible, pampering treat a beautiful glass jar.
I have a bathtub, and I am learning to like
Pampering. This is all good.

And on the other side of a loving heart-shaped note,
I found a sticker with a Danish proverb:

“The road to a friend’s house is never long.”

We live almost an hour away.
The road is, literally, long.
But we have friends who love us so much,
They call that road not long, and visit
Anyway.
