Such a moving tribute to your beloved aunt. Coffee is a powerful substance in many ways...and in this write, you equate its flavor and warmth with your loved one. I really like it! I also wrote a coffee poem-altho not really appreciated on the soup-nevertheless one of my favorites..check it out..I Adore Thee, Little Bean.

Star Troubador is just a fantasy one might have at any time. I'm thinking of when one might be walking down the street, looking at people. Love, daver

She sounds like a very special lady, Sara. Perhaps God called her home early because she had fulfilled the mission he planned for her. It seems so many good people die young. A beautiful acrostic, dear. Love, Carolyn
