Half a cup of tea And The room

By Hayley Allcock

Half a cup of tea

Half a cup of tea
She never did finish that cup of tea, did she know it’d be her last sip?
No one knew it was the last time she would smile or do her cheeky wink.
Did she ever chase up the photos or sort the flowers for the arrangement?
Half a cup of tea
We didn’t know that it was the last chit chat we would have, popping by for a cuppa and biscuit.
Or that when she said good bye it actually was goodbye.
Half a cup of tea
She never did finish that cup of tea.

The room

I walk into the room
The dark and gloomy room
And what I see I will never forget
I saw a monster, it was great and wide
So I stepped, back outside
I went back in to investigate
But when I tried to run, it was too late
I was trapped inside with nowhere to run
And then towards me the monster had come
It’s head came off
Guess what I saw….
My big brother, laughing on the floor

This means books and reading is a part of everyday life.
