A Painting & A Poem: A Cup of Tea

By the time you read this, I will be in Guatemala working with an amazing group of people to help build a home for a deserving family.  One of the things I’ll be bringing with me (by request) is this painting.  I love the poem I found to go with it, there really is something special about a cup of tea…and the teacup you enjoy it from.

A Cup of Tea

When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
The world becomes a lovely thing!
There’s beauty as you’ll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.
