What Have I gotten myself into???

*** UPDATE**** Well, I made a complete fool of myself and cried during the poem.. UGH!! What a disaster.. But the luncheon was nice

I had to include this picture of Karis and Karyss as the poem I am referencing below is about little girls .. Please read on.

Well now I have really done it :-D

I have volunteered myself to read a poem at our Mother Daughter Luncheon tomorrow.. I have been trying to prepare myself but those of you who know me know that public speaking is NOT my thing and I am more likely to cry than anything else.. Of course the poem is also a very emotional one... See what you think

Tea for Three

Come sit with me and we'll have tea

And talk of things that were and things that are to be

Of places we will go and things we will see

Just the two of us, my dear daughter and me

A little wooden table

With chairs for two, not three

Yes, of course you may bring your bear

and place him on your knee

No longer just the two of us

It's tea for three I see

My dear daughter, the bedraggled bear and me

The years passed be and you grew up

Framed in memory I still see

Cherub hands, dimpled daintily, clutching ivory cup of tea

Twinkle laughter owns the moment

Baby faced and full of glee

Starshine dusted by the angels

Oh, God's gracious gift to me!

If I live to be a hundred

I shall never richer be

Than when I shared your dazzling presence

And together we sipped tea

My dear daughter, the bedraggled bear and Me!

Lee Scott C 1998

Hope you all will be praying for me tomorrow as I attempt to get myself through it!!

Let me know what you think of the poem
