The Cup by JezzieG
China cup
Held in palm
Simple taste
To bring calm
Peace of mind
When tears flow
Warming tea
Lets it go
And in joy
Perfect sup
And all this
From one cup

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
