Great poem that passes on the tulip as a shining symbol of hope during these difficult days. Thanks for sharing your creativity in this unique way, and let's keep passing on hope. Bill

Comment from JLR
In my book, while every stanza is a winner on its own ...this is the capstone to this well-crafted poetic presentation:
Take note of fear that wends its way
And causes havoc thereupon.
It has no power o'er our days
When hope is shared and then passed on!

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Poignant and uplifting both. Different from the usual take on this scary time--instead of hope and prayer yada yada you take it to the practical level--TP, don't get more literal than that! Cheers. LIZ

Comment from Ogden
You tell a welcome story of a good Samaritan trying her best to do the right things while shopping for her family during the coronavirus crisis.
My one criticism: In a few places, your poem goes off course, sacrificing its intentions, to achieve rhymes.

Love the rhyming and cadence in this poem... not sure I understand the colon after "into her view." Great timely piece with a warm message... hope! Thank you for your poetry!
