Sharing some Tea
She sits alone in the shade of a tree
Pretending to sip her own cup of tea
Her tutu’s so fine and lined with braid
With butterfly wings that nanna made.
Small china tea set coloured with flowers
At grandad’s table she’ll play for hours
Chairs for her that were made with love
Curious robins watch from above.
Not really alone, her friends are all there
Simba the lion and Benny the bear
Molly the dolly dressed so refine
Penny the penguin she holds all the time.
Milky white skin so soft and smooth
The wildest beast her voice could soothe
Sparkling eyes that shine so bright
Having you here is pure delight.
Happily playing, so full of innocence
Moving about with total eloquence
Turning to blow your grandad a kiss
Makes me proud my cheeky Miss.
You ask me to join ‘n share a “hot” drink
Approaching the table I give a big wink
Under this tree our laughter it echoes
I tickle your feet right under your toes.
Now on my lap you give a big hug
Then plant a kiss on my old bearded mug
These days I’ll remember with feelings of glee
Sharing some tea in the shade of a tree.

The simplicity of the moment and setting are expressed in just the right way, creating a loving, giving atmosphere. Completely satisfying.
