Safe distance, I've been hindered in
Giving away my gospel bracelets.
But today was an exception.
When the two men delivered my
Refrigerator, they were my prime
Targets.
I got acquainted with the slim bearded
Fellow who was sporting lots of
Tattoos.
He explained the meanings of
Several that were visible.
His sister's name was engraved on
His neck.
He told me she had died, and I
Sympathized, sharing that I had
Lost loved ones too.
One name was covered over with a
Blue tinge.
"When I broke up with my girlfriend, I
Blotted out her name," the fellow explained.
"But now we're together again."
Oops!
I wish we could have chatted longer, but
My new refrigerator was humming along, and
The two still had more deliveries.
The driver was already back in the truck so
I rushed out to hand the men their bracelets.
"You can't leave till I give you these," I said,
And I explained the good news with the
Colored beads.
After they left I realized that none of us had
Been wearing masks.
Hopefully, the only thing we passed along
Were good wishes.
