AFTERNOON TEA - A POEM FROM OUR RESIDENT POET

AFTERNOON TEA

It was one of those memorable afternoons

You store away in secret confines,

To be enjoyed time and time again

As you continue Life’s Journey.

For hours, words flowed eloquently

Remembering loved ones,

Whose friendships coloured our lives.

Smiles and laughter filled the elegant room

Overlooking the delightful garden.

Certaln idiosyncratic characters and events were discussed

Whilst the deliciously tantalising food –

All homemade, of course –

Fuelled memories of our past,

Which will, for us, stay evergreen.

When Summer’s sun fails to appear,

Or the chilling fingers of Winter, clutch,

The memory of that lovely June day

Will warm the heart –

Far more than the apocryphal Heat Pump!
