First steps, every morning, not taken lightly I move slowly with closed eyes and hands outstretched Stumbling, mumbling Like the decaffeinated zombie that I am CO---FFFFF---EEEEEEE Then I see my salvation The only thing capable of turning a horrible morning in a bearable one Nectar from the gods CO---FFFFF---EEEEEEE Ohhh, saviour of the early day Killer of the sleeping glands I'll take a cup with me, on my way To the daily working dance CO---FFFFF---EEEEEEE My first sip: ohhh sweet Ambrosia, exploding on my tongue, reviving my cells Thank you, I’ll be able to survive one more day My preciooouuussss.... CO---FFFFF---EEEEEEE *** April 20, 2017 Copyright © Darren White and Claudia Polydoro

I don't take mine lightly either. Thank you both for this wonderful poem that certainly put a smile on my face this morning. By the way, nice Gollum touch. Can't wait to get 'my precious' either:) Amitiés

Can't imagine life without my cup a day! And sometimes even thrice a day! A fun collaboration! Well done both of you.

This was a fantastic and fun collaboration to read. I can relate to this so much. I can barely stand myself until after my first cup and I'm sure other's don't like me as much either. :) Nice one you two.
