The International Cafe

Let’s all walk down to the International Café
Where gallivanting is allowed, and the antelopes stomp.
Let’s be merry, and daring, and a tiny bit gay.
We are all welcome. Let’s give it a shout out and a tromp.

The International Café welcomes the rich and the poor.
Come on, my friends, of mixed races, beliefs, hopes, ideas, and creed. 
It likes liveliness and enthusiasm, and whatever else walks in the door.
If we hurry along, we can take my pink unicorn steed.

Bring your imagination, your sass, your mood and your pen.
The International Café is opening its doors to the young and the old. 
This is the place we will all want to be around, and linger in. 
Bring in your happiness, your joy, your daring. Be crazily bold!

We will be disappointed if you do not join us, my friend.
You do not have to be fancy, or dress up in any way.
Enthusiasm will abound from this place end to end.
Let’s go watch them christen the International Café!

There is an "International Cafe" on AP, and they had requested that we members write a poem in honor of it.

Smiling at your description! It matters not, all are welcome... LBring your imagination, your sass, your mood and your pen.”

This is an excellent post and poem, my brother of God's grace, Caren. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. The descriptive excellence is lovely. The theme great, and tenor move the piece along with much grace. Great job! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53812816-sincerely-speaking-spiritually.
