Coffee For Me

I consume that aroma of fresh roasted coffee beans; Oh, that very first sip!
A perfect 205 degrees; steaming, but not so hot to burn one's lip.
It should be sweetened with sugar, but not overly sweet.
A couple or three teaspoons of "sugar in the raw," a treat.
The cream should be half and half, but never too milky.
A heavenly sensation, not too mild or strong; smooth and silky.
This caffeinated elixir that awakens the delicate buds on my tongue, is for me,
The anticipation of stimulation, craved by a person with adhd.
