One of Lifes Pleasures

Pick a coffee mug
From the glass case. They come in all colors,
Shapes, and designs from all over the place.
I am glad family and friends feel safe and 
Snug
As we pull the rush plug
And escape the rat race.
Pick a coffee mug
As we talk we pass around the coffee jug
This helps us to interface.
I am glad family and friends feel safe and 
Snug
While sitting around my living room or on 
My floor rug
As they drink the warm liquid their hands 
Wrap around to embrace
A coffee mug.
It gives my heart strings a tug
To see all these smiling faces.
I am glad family and friends feel safe and
Snug.
As they leave we exchange hugs
And when the next coffee meeting will
Take place.
Pick a coffee mug
I am glad family and friends feel safe and
Snug.

Arturo Michael Date: 7/26/2018 8:22:00 AM A lovely experience indeed to share so much love... Nice message... All the best Bette Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 7/26/2018 10:29:00 AM Thank you Arturo for the visit. I am glad you liked it. It is always a wonderful experience when all the eleven children come home, bring their other halves and the grandchildren. Then we have 35 of our clan together. Of course the friends follow as soon as they know their here. I hope you have a great day. Thank you again for the visit.

Daniel Turner Date: 7/25/2018 6:08:00 PM I take mine with cream and sugar:) I have a cupboard full of coffee mugs but I always use the same one. A fun read, Bette:) Login to Reply Bette Bavington Date: 7/25/2018 9:32:00 PM I am glad you liked it. I have a lot. I use a different one when ever I am in the mood for change. They make nice souveniors to show where you have been. Thank you again for the visit.
