~Touched By A Cup~
~For my friend Marge~

A cup of sorrows
was set before me
it bid me take a drink
to taste of it swiftly brought
pity's party pouring over me


A cup of love
someone handed me
said just one drink
will set you free
to see yourself as God see's

A cup of trust
I eagerly touch
with open eye's and open heart
all things are made brand new

A cup of peace mixed with hope
poured over me
to drench my withered soul

Touched by a cup of love and trust
I bravely look within
knowing now with renewed strength
I'll never thirst again

Thank you Marge
Hugs,
BloomingRose

Hi, even though this was for Marge, I felt inclined to read it. Very beautiful words. I know she will love it.

BloomingRose~

A simple cup of kindness
given to a friend,
knowing it was tasted
is joy that has no end.

Little sips of life
that enrich another's heart
Fills with overflowing
that Share-A-Cup does impart.

So let's begin this business
and see just how many,
need a sip of kindness,
who otherwise might not have any.

Whatever I give to you
passes on to another, indeed.
That's the only thanks
this little heart needs.

Loving you for this sweet toast to friendship.
*Hugs*
~*Marge*~
