Poem: Simple Gifts

Simple Gifts


Simple gifts

Are best,

A cup of tea with thee,

Long talks of then and now

And how

The time has passed,

Grateful for the little things

That touch the heart,

The way a simple

Cup of tea

Somehow sets one free,

And all the rest just drops away,

At least

For one fine day.
