“We’re glad to have you as our guest, And hope you have a good night’s rest…” (poem)

A poem is found in many guest rooms:
       
“We’re glad to have you as our guest,
And hope you have a good night’s rest.
Tomorrow, you again may roam,
But while you’re here, just feel at home.”
   
Authorship is unknown. A second part was printed in the Sun-News (Myrtle Beach, SC) on September 14, 1967:
     
“And when your journey starts anew,
Please take this little card with you—
To wish you Godspeed on your way,
And bring you back again some day.”

Thought For Today
We’re glad to have you as our guest
And hope you have a good night’s rest;
Tomorrow, you again may roam,
But while you’re here, just feel at home.

We’re glad to have you as our guest

But while you’re here, just feel at home.

Welcome
We’re glad to have you as our guest,
And hope you have a good night’s rest;
Tomorrow, you again may roam.
But while you’re here, just feel at home.
 
And when your journey starts anew,
Please take this little card with you—
To wish you Godspeed on your way,
And bring you back again some day.

A framed verse in my guest room nicely captured the attitude at the Overlook:
 
“We’re glad to have you as our guest
And hope you have a good night’s rest.
Tomorrow you again may roam
But while you’re here, just feel at home.”

I know this topic was discussed previously, but I did not download the messages because I did not think I would need them. Well . . . now I want to design a sampler with this saying:
 
We are glad to have you as our guest,
And hope you have a good night’s rest.
Tomorrow you again my roam,
But while you are here, just feel at home.

Special Touches: Guests

Print out this neat poem (I can’t remember where I read it originally) and place on their pillow or on the nightstand. A flower is a nice touch as well.
 
We’re glad to have you as our guest
And hope you have a good night’s rest!
 
Tomorrow you again may roam,
But while you’re here just feel at home!
