i would like to introduce you to mr. and mrs. tender mercy
they operate pretty much
like the tooth fairy,
the easter bunny and santa claus
they come when your not watching
and leave a little something
that just happens to be the very need
you thought you would have to do without
sometimes it is
a christmas sweater
left in the car the day before the school was having
christmas sweater day
sometimes it is
a full tank that is magically filled
while i'm inside working with students
sometimes
it is the numerous twentys
to pay a bill, go to a movie, pick up prescriptions,
sometimes
it is the run of the vacuum
the sweep of the leaves
the shoveling of snow
the taking out or bringing in the garbage
sometimes
it a tub of soup, salami, cranberry juice,
and a roll of toilet paper
sometimes
i am sure i must be crazy
and then i see a bit of evidence
and then i know
mr. and mrs. tender mercy
have been about
delivering of their goodness
my parents have a motto
leave things better than you found them
and the always do
mr. and mrs. tender mercy came today
how do i know
evidence
was left in the snow
was left in the snow
it is great to be loved
