Today’s word is “prévenance” ... pre-vuh-nahns ... special care in anticipating or catering to the needs and pleasures of others. (Dictionary.com)
Visit
Walking in we knew at once,
The prévenance was all around,
They had been expecting us,
They’d gathered gifts all over town.
They put us in expensive chairs,
And gave us water, treats and wine,
Conversation like a river flowed,
And through windows bright sun shined.
Later on we found our place,
Around the dinner table fine,
We feasted til we could no more,
Then watched a movie in recline.
When day was done we found our bed,
As cozied children, slept the night,
When morning came, the visit done,
Grateful for friendship, we took flight.
