~ Rose Of My Heart  ~

My hand, holds the teacup
 My heart - your warmth

 My hand, soft the motion
 My heart - every thought.

 My hand, holds a rose
 My heart - your love

 My hand, soft the fragrance
 My heart's where you come
   A rose from above

I wish we could sit down together and have a nice hot cup of tea.........But since we can’t in this life for now............

~ Our Cuppa ~
 
Today, I wanted so, that we could
sit on down,
somewhere nice 'n pretty
To chat and catch up
And have a cuppa tea...
Just you and me
 
So I found this lovely lady, to serve
us in our dreams, for that's the closest
to reality, the best that we can be, or do
To share a cuppa tea together...
Me, and lovely you

~ Tea Party For Two~

Here is a special invitation, for a pretend party at my place
I'll be setting up a vase of flowers 
Pretty china and a cloth of lace.

There'll be delicious carrot cake, with cheese topping very sweet,
Fairy cakes and strawberry sponge, with grapes,
just for a treat.

We'll cut each creamy piece in half, so we don't feel so bad,
But, it's all the things that we won't say
That will make us more than glad.

For all that is most treasured, about the way that we two feel,
Is not to be all bandied 'bout
'Tween friends that are so real.

So, send me now your quick reply, you choose the very date,
 For a teaparty, just when you like,
Oh, I can hardly wait..

~ Time For Friendship Cake ~ 

'Tis time I feel for warmest smiles,   
some friendship cake with you    
For with so much loving in the air    
our hearts are in the mood    

   Berries, shortbread, roasted nuts   
a fruit-filled friendship cake   
Let's meet together somewhere nice   
And sweetly contemplate   

 Catch up with all our latest news   
and read between the lines   
Check just how we really are   
And if our hearts are fine   

    Share our dreams, tomorrows, 
    and reminisce about this year
    Pour another cup of tea
    Pray comfort for our fears.

    Trusting God for He is sure, 
    and keeps us come what may
    Oh, it's been so good, let's meet again,
    For Friendship cake another day

~ Let's Go To The Tearoom ~

Down on the corner     
On that quiet little street     
 They've opened a new tearoom-    
How about we meet.    

We'll choose the sunny nook,    
Quite near the french doors     
Just sit, enjoy the atmosphere     
Then we'll make our call.    

Tea service please, two pots,    
Sugar, milk and cream    
An apple turnover    
A chocolate éclair - we can share    
     
You'll lick the cream from yours,    
While carefully you cut,    
Little smiles will appear as we play-    
With the teaspoons in our cups    

     It might be fun watching all the cars, 
     Driving crazy down the street,
     And the sun playing on the lace-
     In our special little place.

     We'll end up not talking very much, 
     For some moments like this
     Are just too sacred for words-
      Too blessed with pure bliss.

      Then when shadows begin to fall, 
      We'll look at each other and softly sigh
      Whispers catching in our throat-
      Tears spilling from our eyes.

      Yet, as we rise to go, we'll know 
      That we will never part
      Though we might separate at the door-
      We'll stay together in our heart.

God knows when to send an angel
and just who to send one to. 
He has blessed me
He has blessed us, it is true.

Friendship tea is here
Of happiness and cheer
God for us is near
He calms our every fear
Love is in the air
Laughter everywhere

Olden times and pretty rhymes
Memories that bind
At teatime we can share
Warm here by the fireside
Joyfully we sigh

Friendship time is here
And we'll be always near
Because we share together
The love of God all year
~unknown~

~It's Time For Tea~  

I've been thinking of you so much 
How you may be needing a tender little touch... 
So I dreamed of how I could pick you
a pretty bouquet of fragrant flowers,
and some red, juicy sweet strawberries 
just because today I want you to feel loved. 

Then, I will brew the kettle and make us both a cuppa..
and we will sit and sip
and just be together you and I-
with few words, or many, 
it will matter not for we will just be.... 
with pretty flowers, strawberries and friendship 
and a very delightful, hot cup of tea.

 “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, 
nor the kindly smile,  nor the joy of companionship;
 it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one
when you discover that someone is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

~ Our Sweetest Tea ~

  I think I have found the secret, 
tucked away so very mysteriously,
 Yet, how can it be known
When it hides where I cannot see.

   And where shall I know to look, 
if the secret cannot be revealed,
 What shall show up the elements
If the reality of a substance is so sealed.

 Still day after day the secret is unveiling,
with a radiance to explore,
 A sweet beauty is unfolding before me
 As the curtains are withdrawn.

Yes, I can hear it flowing on the breeze,
I can feel it deep inside the more,
I can read it with my eyes
 It is becoming sure.

For the secret touching me, 
is your unseen heart,
it is your loving prayers
that lift me to the skies,

 And on this sweetest day you sit here,
 Simply soft with me, and I can see
the softness in your eyes.

If there is anything
better than being loved,
 it is loving.

~ Tea With Little Friends ~
 
Life may be good and sweet,
 if that is such to think,
 When little friends join to meet with, 
empty hands held wide in need.

For a little thing will always know, 
how to laugh and run so free,
 Unshackled,
 so much delight to see.

A little thing knows how to ask, 
when hungry, just to open wide,
 Then food will quickly come,
to warm a cold inside.

  A little thing knows how to love, 
when soft feelings come,
 To open up the heart,
and spontaneously have fun.

 A little thing knows how to feel, 
when sorrow takes away,
 To softly cry until the hurt is gone,
then come back to softly play.

A little thing is fit for heaven, 
so automatically,
 For they just know to trust
 In One they cannot see.

My sweet friend then, is the one
to keep forever,
 For when all the rest may disappear
We will always be together.

and He only who made hearts

~ Overflowing Cup ~
If you feel the brightest sunshine
Warming you through and through, with the whisper of a breeze,
  as it wraps you in gladness, to tickle and to tease.

   If you feel the sparkle of a dewdrop
 kissing your lovely cheek, and twinkling in your hair, gentle softness
 That heaven freely shares.

   If you hear a baby giggle
 with delicious glee, unfolding such delight, reflecting perfection from above, 
Innocence of heart, hugs of purest love.

   If you see happy little angels at play
 Warming your inner soul, like a butterflies soft wing, calling sweetly
 Tenderness to bring.

 If you walk outside to watch the rain
 Come tumbling down, as God opens His windows up above, 
Just to bless us with His heart of love.

 If you gaze out your window
 Just to see the beauty, the azure blue, the flower hue, 
The birds that say God loves you for eternity. 

 Then you my special friend 
 must be sharing in the overflowing cup of life, such a delight, so close to me,
 God was oh so nice, when He planned us to be.

~ Surging From Our Soul ~   

We watch the steam curl upward, 
the curving, floating mist,
Forever rising, merging, 
the air so softly kissed.

We feel its warmth, our hands, 
enveloped in the swirls,
The pretty steam ascending, 
each atom it unfurls.

Twirling, swirling, whirling, 
we gaze upon the form,
Watch the gentle movement- 
and see God given law.

Our hearts are also rising, 
like steam releasing forth,
We are not tied to here, 
but live for ever more.

Our prayer is surging heavenward,
for us, a soaring stream,
As vapor ever buoyant,
our spirits lift to Him.

~ Thank you Party ~
   Today is such a special celebration, 
for it is my thankyou day
To thank you for your friendship, 
for all you do and say.
I could make a simple cup of tea, 
a little party on the porch,
For you'd love that most of all, 
but, I'd like to do much more.

If I owned a laurel wreath, 
I'd lay it on your brow,
Place a gold medallion around your neck, 
and buy flowers for you now.
I'd take you out to dinner, 
for a most delicious feast,
Write your name in glittering gold, 
upon an honor list.

I'd ride you in a chariot, 
be-crown your heart with gold,
Sit you on a royal throne, but, 
my dear, your hand I'd gently hold.
I so appreciate your friendship, 
how loving's your resolve'
So I made for you a thank you party, 
for today you must be told.

God's love

You

~ Tea For Two ~
I just had such a pleasant thought,
why don't you go make your toast and for a treat
Have a special breakfast here with me.
I have the loveliest of china and you have the warmest smile
Then what more would we wish for our morning cup of tea.

You see I've picked the prettiest of flowers to grace our table setting too,
and God is already here
To share in all the care, now all I'm needing here is you.
So how about you pull up a chair and settle in all cozy,
While I pour out the tea, what did we say we liked, lemon, mint, or as it comes
All is set, your visit here with me.

Now if you click on your message window, there, we're open for some chat,
How's your java steaming hot? 
Good now you sip yours, short or long and black.
Shall we fry some golden eggs with a bacon strip at that,
My what a delicious aroma,
Uhoh, hold on, my toast is burning, but, don't ever go away
Because my dearest friend- I'll always be right back.

~A Cup Of Love For You~

A cup of love I send today dear friend with a very sweet bouquet,
For the softness of it's fragrant hue, is your care in every way
A cup of boundless joy I send to bless you all along your way,
It comes with every prayer for your heart... a gift of joy to me always

A cup of sweetest peace I send to pour it o'er and o'er again,
For the tender love you give to me, as mine to you will never end
God bless your heart
thank you for being the wonderful friend that you are

I cannot sit and chat with you, 
the way I'd like to do. 
So brew yourself a cup of tea, 
I'll think of you, you think of me.

Tea, anyone? 
By Miss Bee's Haven

I had a little tea party--This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small- Three guests in all-
Just I, myself and me.
Myself ate all the sandwiches,- While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me.
