An Ode To A Beautiful Friend

…..and the best gifts

painting by Tamsyn

Thank you for the most meaningful parting

From which we know we have never parted

For the lovely manuscript pen that will bring out the best in me

Elegant writing that I never thought could flow from a magic nib

For the fragrant sleep potion that will transport me to Neverland

A balm that will soothe my restless spirit

For your painting on the card that will inspire me to dig deeper to discover my talents if any

With your delightful creation of an idyllic landscape

You are blessed with a multitude of talents

Bestowed with a disarming charm

Endowed with an infinite grit

Gifted with a beautiful countenance

Graced with compassion and composure

Let these traits rub off onto me, friend

Like infusing my old veins with your blood

Sounds gory I know

But that definitely will do me good
