AnnMarie shared this appreciation in the Brandon Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:
I laced my boots, prepared to fight
Round two with shovel, snow, and spite—
But lo! My walkway, clean and clear…

No calling card, no boast, no brag,
Just tidy paths where drifts would lag.
A quiet deed at break of day
That swept my grumbly chore away.
Dear Neighbor Mine (identity unknown),
Your kindness brightly shone and shone.
Please take these thanks, sincere though small—
You warmed my heart… and cleared my hall.
