I found this one and used it to make some tea bag holders over the weekend, it's attributed to anon. I think it's great for a general "thinking of you" type thing.
When your day seems topsy turvey
And as stormy as can be
There's nothing quite as tranquil
As a nice hot cup of tea
While you savor this ambrosia
Your problems fade away
Its warmth will bring you comfort
And brighten up your day
So take a private moment
There's a calmness as you'll see
All because you briefly stopped
To sip a cup of tea.
Tea Time cards are a wonderful idea. Thanks Avonlea for sharing the great tea links. These will be just the right cards for cheering friends on cold winter days. A wonderful after-Christmas project for me.
Through thick and thin it's plain to see
you'll always be a friend to me.
Though near or far I hope that we
will find some time to share some tea.
Day in and out I strive to be the kind of (mother, sister, friend, aunt cousin ...) you've been to me.
So let's pretend you're here with me and sit right down to have some tea.
-- and a variation of the original Christmas one --
On Christmas day (Easter, Mother's Day ...) at half past three,
have yourself a cup of tea.
At that time I will be, remembering (what you mean to me (all you've done for me).
I have drunk tea brewed by the women who picked it
At the end of their day and the start of my night.
I have drunk tea after birth and it tasted like nectar.
I have had tea with milk, sugar, jasmine and Mary.
I have drunk Ceylon in Ceylon, and Darjeeling in Darjeeling.
I have had it green, black, white, red and golden.
I have drunk it from porcelain, bamboo and clay.
I have cried into it and had my future read from it.
I have drunk it when I haven’t wanted it, and when I’m desperate for one.
I’ve drunk it with Russian sailors, Shivas, divas, grandmothers, vicars, lovers, friends.
In my dreams I’ve had a nice cup of tea with the Queen, Attilla the Hun, Elvis, Nelson Mandela.
I’ve had it hot, iced and spiced.
I’ve drunk it in the air, up a mountain, on an elephant, in a train, and tea at sea.
Tea, tea, tea, will you share a cup with me?
Some time ago I made some tea bag ATCs to send to ladies hosting ATC swaps I was in. I folded a sort of jacket to go around a Tea bag that was ATC size and put the bag in. On a tag that slipped in the other side I wrote the following poem. It's like the Christmas Tree one just with a slight change.
On Thursday week
At half past three
Let's sit and have a cup of tea.
I'll think of you...
You think of me
Getting acquainted through our ATC.
The title is so funny...be careful about make it a "bagger"... apparently that is nasty and I did not know until I read a thread in CE...HUGE discussion going on over there about tea bags!!
I just made a match box fold and sent out 25 tea bags to my friends.
