My friend Tammy has a merry smile Fun, big-hearted, colorful style We always sit and chat awhile Her laughter can echo for miles We're enthusiastic football fans For our favorite team we'll take a stand Over coffee-and, we'll share our plans For dinner, family, pots and pans So please excuse this silly rhyme I just wanted to take the time To give a shout-out to her upbeat ways And send my thanks for cheering my days.

A sweet nod to a friend and friendship. I love the phrase "over coffee-and". Your gift is such that you can turn a "silly rhyme" into something profound and relatable. I think we all need an upbeat friend who can send us on our way with a smile. Hope you are enjoying your day ~ John

I wrote this back when I first joined poetry soup, it was one of the first new things I'd written, and she is always so friendly and encouraging, glad you liked it, hope you have a great week, John~
