The Work of One by Lori Lipsky

Hands and back
of one man labor to
prepare the feast
for hundreds of eyes

Each day he works
he weeds, he waters
while others stroll past
to consume the banquet

  And the flowers looked especially great after our lovely meal at Millie’s.

What a great analogy! The banquet our eyes can feast on.
You look at the world through perceptive, appreciative lenses!
