In a world that tends to celebrate angst, refreshing to read a poem that celebrates simple human relations --- not because they are simple, but because their very simplicity hides complexity that can be either lost in over analysis or given renewed life with appreciative acceptance.
It is good to accept a primal role written in our DNA -- especially when the other shows gratitude.
