"There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiments in a cup of tea." Ralph Waldo Emerson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In times of stress and sorrow,
when life seems hard to swallow,
a cup of tea provides relief,
a moment to pause and breathe.
Steeped in memories and tradition,
a sip of tea creates a transition,
from chaos to calm,
as we hold the cup so warm.
The fragrant steam rises,
inviting us to set aside our surprises,
to linger in the moment,
as the liquid provides the potent.
From a cozy chat with friends,
to healing a broken heart that mends,
tea comforts and nurtures,
and its power endures.
It’s no surprise that tea inspires,
the writer’s pen and artist’s desires,
for its aroma and taste,
create a sense of creativity to embrace.
So, raise your cup of tea,
a true companion that sets us free
from life’s worries and strife.
Come! Let us enjoy today filled with rife.
