A Cup of Tea

 A Cup of Tea

She made a cup of tea

And poured it out for herself,

And above the streaming brew she smiled.

Two sweet lumps of sugar fell into

The cup.

The morning dew falls unrestrained,

The morning sun shines unhindered,

The birds sing and fly unbothered,

The birds are making her feel quite guilty though

They're so busy!

Not yet ready for the sun,

She hide away in the shade.

Inhaling the beauty of the garden,

So thankful for the trees.

They know her and understand

She like to be hidden sometimes.

She sits there at a small table.

Her flowing white skirt,

A pair of little, white heels

And her hands gently wrapped around the cup.

While sipping Tea from the cup,

Glossy lips touches the cup

Printing the colour of lipstick on the cup.

It’s the time she spend for herself

Which helps her to begin the day with positivity.
