Like a Coffee

Bright morning on the sidetable, I sat Barely awake to relax on my butt I began to search my favorite cup For in early hours, it is a stat In the range, I place a teapot Checking sure the water is hot Usual time, it rang on dot Sending me signal ready it's hot I place sugar, coffee and cream Observing each grain drop in stream I get a spoon stirring it round Careful not to make any sound I like not sweet nor bitter The more I taste, it's better So thus life, the more you live The more things you will achieve Of fortune and wealth Of people's love and health Of dreams and ambitions Of contentment and satisfaction Each year, a person gets older I hope one doesn't get colder Rather, he or she must be bolder Pursue life's hurdles and wonder Either of these, go with life's stir Mixture of circumstances like elixir Through every joys and tears God is with you, don't fear.. by: olive_eloi 1:04am 01/29/2014

I'm getting older, but inside I've been thawed. A coffee, don't mind if I do, with you. Love this piece, James......
