Coffee and tea are simple pleasures. Savored slowly or gulped down to charge up for the day, dark roasted or English breakfast, served hot or cold, a cup of this can amp us up or soothe our minds for a while. Here's my take on this treat:
Coffee, Tea, and Me
Coffee shared with a friend,
Both are warming to the core.
Hair-sticking-straight-up strong
Or a rich and creamy delight,
We add a pinch of sugar
To sweeten the pot.
We nibble crunchy croissants
Freshly baked and sinful,
Our heads nearly touching
As we share our gossip and news.
Giggling and grasping each others hands,
We pour another cup of vaporous brew.
Whether in gladness or sadness,
Silly or triumphant,
Or just letting off some steam,
I can always count on pleasures
From my coffee, tea, and you,
My friend.
