Tea Time

Each month or maybe more often, we find it fun to get out the poetry books and tea set, bake a yummy treat, and have a "poetry tea time."  Everyone enjoys plenty of sugar and laughs along the way.  I found this poem during one of these poetry tea time shared with the kids.

Invitation

If you are a dreamer, come in,

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...

If you are a pretender,

Come sit by the fire,

For we have some flas-golden tales to spin,

Come in!

Come in!

by Shel Silverstein

This poem speaks to me that those with a desire for more and a belief that more is available learn from life and find a love for life along the way.
