Afternoon Tea

Have a cup of tea
Invite who you may in
Provide some cake as well
Stored in that Christmas tin

An afternoon well spent
Some friends around for tea
Sharing the worries and joys
Not even costing a fee

How the time’s gone
Where the company’s so sweet
The last thing to remember
A time again to meet

An afternoon just spent
Brings comfort to some poor soul
Who may need an encouraging word
To aid them in life’s goal
