    This is a powerful poem on human friendship, n loving one another.

    Sip your Tea
    Nice and Slow
    No one Ever knows
    when it’s Time to Go,
    There’ll be no Time
    to enjoy the Glow,
    So sip your Tea
    Nice and Slow.

    Life is too Short but
    feels pretty Long,
    There’s too Much to do, so much going Wrong,
    And Most of the Time You Struggle to be Strong,
    Before it’s too Late
    and it’s time to Go,
    Sip your Tea
    Nice and Slow.

    Some Friends stay,
    others Go away,
    Loved ones are Cherished but not all will Stay.
    Kids will Grow up
    and Fly away.
    There’s really no Saying how Things will Go,
    So sip your Tea
    Nice and Slow.

    In the End it’s really
    all about understanding Love
    For this World
    and in the Stars above,
    Appreciate and Value who truly Cares,
    Smile and Breathe
    and let your Worries go,
    So Just Sip your Tea
    Nice and Slow."

    When I'm dead
    Your tears will flow
    But I won't know
    Cry with me now instead.
    You will send flowers,
    But I won't see
    Send them now instead
    You'll say words of praise
    But I won't hear.
    Praise me now instead
    You'll forget my faults,
    But I won't know.....
    Forget them now instead.
    You'll miss me then,
    But I won't feel.
    Miss me now, instead.
    You'll wish You could have spent more time with me,
    Spend it now instead
    When you hear I'm gone, you'll find your way to my house to pay condolence but we haven't even spoken in years.
    Look for me now.

    Spend time with every person around you, and help them with whatever you have to make them happy, your families, friends and acquaintances.
    Make them feel Special because you never know when time will take them away from you forever.

    Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'Talk'.
    Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can 'Celebrate'
    Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'

    That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations.
    We are nothing without each other
    So Stay Connected!

    (A poem by Prof Lee Tzu Pheng - Singapore Cultural Medallion winner. She was formerly in the English Literature Dept in NUS)
