THANK YOU

THANK YOU

Thank you for the love you’ve shown,

The tenderness and care.

The very many happy hours

When time and hours you share.

Thank you for the kindness

Your smile and tender touch.

All the lovely things you do

Are valued very much.

You always make me welcome

With a chat and cup of tea,

You are very special 

And very important to me.

You show your care for others

In very many ways ~

Your friendship is treasured

And brings light unto my days.

Thank you for who I am

When I spend time with you.

You help me see that days are fair,

And friends are kind and true.

Thank you for being there

And for your kindly listening ear,

For helping me to overcome

The things that bring me fear.

I think about those sheltered times

And the hours we have shared,

I remember very well indeed

Knowing that you cared.

I hope that I can be there for you

When you need someone near

I hope that I am able to dispel

The depth of all your fear.

THE TEABAG FAIRY

THE TEABAG FAIRY

I am the mishcief maker

And do all those troublesome things

But I am quick to fly away

On tiny gossamer wings.

If the string breaks on your teabag

Then I am probably around

And if the tea bag falls back in

Look and I am sure to be found.

When the teabag dribbles on the table

And frustration settles right in

If you look around I will be hiding

You know that you can't win.

I am always in "hot water"

For trouble is my name

But it is with the teabag

That I have made my fame.

When the teabag is too hot to handle

And you quickly drop it down

I shall be hiding and smiling,

Even though YOU wear a frown.

I am not really naughty

Just mischevious you see

For I am never very far away

When you have your cup of tea.
