A Taste of Summer

I went out to warm up

It was cold in the basement

So, I wanted a few minutes of heat

It was mid-April, and we were getting

A taste of summer

I sat in the sun feeling the icy feel going

I wanted to feel the asphalt on my bare feet

They were so frozen that I couldn’t warm them

Under the comforter inside

Luckily, my dog had to do his business

So, I can say it was urgent

My feet seep on the soft grass that

I thought I stepped in quicksand for a moment

Went to my mailbox

And found a letter from a Charity

Addressed to me

I sat back down and opened the letter

It was dated March 20, 2023

Thank G-d, I gave at the office

Or there wouldn’t anything to give
