Gifts and Goodbyes

The school caretaker's wife and baby present Sheila with
a lovely lamp with a teddy under it.
People who have nothing
yet give so kindly.
When the teachers and students came to pick us up from DK hotel
they gave us these Karen tunics.
Fiona and Irvine, there's one each for you too.

When we got to the bus station in the pick up truck
of the school's Thai landlady,
the tuk tuk appeared too.... much to our delight.
21 folk hugging, waving and saying goodbye....
as we smiled then wept our way out of Mae Sot.
(Well Geoff didnae greet but I did!)
Au Revoir, Mae Sot...
We'll be back next year, won't we Geoff?
