friends table

close friends talk

in this scary world I do my best
sometimes I need to rest
I go to my friend's house and sit at her table
when I am able
I have a few sips of tea
she knows a thing or two or three
she imparts them to me
her wise word
goes to me deeply heard
she is a gift from above
a special kind of love

I've always been the type of person who gravitates to one or two special people -- at the various points in my life, different ones. Not comfy in a group, or even sharing with a group online, so my innermost stuff goes to the person who fits the perfectly simple & powerful depiction in your poem (((HUGS)))

I'll just tell you straight out...I wrote this poem for Chris Shaw....and she knows it...she has been a friend to me...she made it clear she is busy with her own family... I told her I appreciated her friendship...and she has her own poem to prove it

I believe that every poet on this website has felt this warm friendship-with-tea feeling we get from Chris *smile*

What a lovely poem of thanks and what a generous poet you are. You are right, we live in scary times. What with the pandemic, the days can be lonely for people living on their own. Those of us who live with family and a full house need to remember that.
