A Cup of Iced Tea

A cup of homemade iced tea made
by our own mother
That was always appreciated 
when we were young in 
the hot summer days
that she would prepared for
us under no circumstances
even with a small task
No doubt about it is always
be tasteful and enjoyable
With added sweet flavor ingredient
along with a sliced piece of lemon
and a banana cream pie
how could anyone resist to this 
You can always add more cups
to fill up your thirst of request
With no cost of extra dime and penny
A cup of homemade iced tea
Just like a homemade giving spare
That filled you with a sense of need
A cup of homemade iced tea
Could be a special recipe treat
that cool you off with its own sip of refresh
A cup of homemade iced tea
Could bring you back with a countless of  
laughter memories
so here is a cheer to everyone
with a sip of tasteful iced tea
A cup of homemade iced tea
Can be a reminder to all
That we call can take things
For granted despite with only a serve of taste
