Listen to poem:

Tea For Two - ::new audio::

Friends..
Take us just as we are;
The rough and the smooth.
Accepted and loved.
With nothing to prove.

Friends..
Need us too;
Or that's what we hope.
Ask yourself this:
Are you sick, phat or dope?

Friends..
Gather together in twos, threes or fours.
Uplifting each other.
House and hearts;
Open doors.

Friends..
Share the mountainous journey,
the struggles, the views.
Friends are honest and patient.
All colours. 
All hues.

Friends..
Whoever they are, whatever they're like;
Be they short, wide or lanky,
called Steph, Steve or Mike..
We should give as we take
and be present, for sure..

..as our friends are forever.
And maybe.. some more.

Christina Bowring April 19, 2024 at 2:04 PM Thought I would stop by and read your very first post here. This is such a sweet, thoughtful friendship poem. You have captured the true essence of friendship so beautifully and poetically. Friends make the world go round. Really enjoyed reading this delightful poem. I’m a tea drinker - put the kettle on! :):) Christopher Grieves May 1, 2024 at 6:38 AM Ah Christina, you are such a delight to call by, very much like a good friend would.. yes, the kettle is certainly already warming itself; a cheeky biscuit maybe? Lovely to hear from you. Blessings C :) xx

Christopher Grieves June 22, 2023 at 6:39 AM Bless you too Paula - they say love makes the world go round, but surely the world is fuelled by tea and propelled by friendship :)

Clifford Villalon January 12, 2023 at 9:17 AM You are a good friend to everybody! Thank you for the tea, Sir! :) Christopher Grieves June 22, 2023 at 6:37 AM Well you are always welcome for a cuppa :) too kind.

Andrew John January 12, 2023 at 4:46 AM Oh, yes. We can say so much to friends. And we hope, of course, that we never lose them, even if we've had the occasional row. Christopher Grieves June 22, 2023 at 6:37 AM I think Andrew, you are very correct, true friends can discuss and disagree and maintain mutual respect and (if we are lucky) love. Thanks for your comment :)
