A Lovely Day For a Tea Party

Instead of hate, please pass the scones
            There is no need for guns and drones
A tablecloth of white and pink
                    Is better than a shroud,  I think

With saucers of a china blue
                     To hold our cups of loving brew
No need they match in color style
              For beauty knows them all the while

The petit fours in rainbowed squares
                Reflect the world of one who cares
Where differences are meant to be
                         To live and love all truly free

Why must this be a sugared dream
             Somewhere inside us, it would seem
That common sense and goodness dwell
                       To seek of heaven, not of hell

It’s a lovely day for a tea party
