The Tea Drops

Just a little, maybe a few drops In a cup that was once full For you_tea just like you wanted_tops But there is some left that was cull Well at least once you thought That you really wanted it Not like some of that you bought Or acquired through other means__get So is life filling of the cup Drinking it up until almost empty Left to be dumped not savored sup A pity the last drops are the best of tea

I guess life is like a cup of tea -- you won't know what's at the bottom until you reach the end. Indeed, they could be the "best of tea." Soupmail in a moment. Love, Carolyn
