Perfection

Curtains opened
each fold two inches apart
Waiting for the arrival
Cushions neatly plumped
Dust off the mantelpiece
Fluff off the floor
Cucumber Sandwiches on the table
Tea in the Teapot
Knock at the door
On time I see
It's quarter past four

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God bless you.
