Cup of Tea

Join me for a while
Tell me about your day
Let's share some laughter
Ponder on something serious
Nibble on something sweet

Sip a cup of hot tea
Jasmine, Earl Grey, Chamomile
Green, Orange Pekoe, Mint
A tea bag is good for two
Three dips in my cup, three dips in yours
Just a bag in hot water...no sugar...no lemon.

These are the moments
We sit, relax, exchange thoughts
Forget about the noises in the world
No kids...no TV...just us
Soothing. Calming. Sweet.

Ever since we got married, Doy and I have observed a ritual, which we do at least three times a week. After dinner, I make some tea for the two of us and we sit at the table, sharing a plate of pastry. We go through events of the day. Sometimes we talk about predicaments. Most of the time, we laugh. And then there are moments when it's just nice to relish memories from the past.

Life can be a picnic. It doesn't need to be grand. It could be plain and simple, really. Because anything could become beautiful as long as love is all around.

Psalms 23:1-3 You, LORD, are my shepherd. I will never be in need. (2) You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, (3) and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths.
