Chocolate Fudge and China Tea

      Chocolate Fudge and China Tea


Silent friend sets to her tasks,

strives and works but never asks

what the end result may be ...

lost in work or lost at sea?


Life is many things in all

bittersweet in large and small,

work unfolding, building dreams

joy and sadness bursting seams.


Silent friend sets to her tasks

strives and works but never asks

any thing or thought from me...

chocolate fudge and China tea.

This is for my “work daughter” Shirley Tan. I was her boss but all she needed was a friend. She traveled to China and brought me a tin of tea. In return, I made her some fudge. That’s all I needed to write her a poem.
