Not autobiographical - though I wouldn't mind the large house. ;-) This one just 'arrived.'

It's good to have you back..and what an 'arrival'..beautiful..the opening verse particularly..not only the words but the items..you wouldn't think of them as being enviable but in some ways they are bigger than the house (although you're right..one of those would be great..) Jae
What a lovely poem. It looks at first as though the gifts are one-sided, but they were obviously understood and appreciated for what they were - expressions of love!
Lovely, just lovely!
agree with altonian. My mind immediately says that the one giver is practical (giving shelter and food via garden) whereas the other gives things highly tied to emotion. But by poem's end, it seems that both are the givers of emotional gifts...just in differing ways.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Thanks very much everyone, your comments are much appreciated. :-)
Thanks Annell. :-)
And in the giving, balance and partnership are forged. Lovely.
Great write! So reflective and lovely.
This is so pretty. I enjoyed the simplicity of the gifts.

I like the simplicity and eloquence and symmetry of this. A lovely poem.
