Tea and Life
Fragile as a porcelain cup;
Beautiful as a rose;
Tender as a tea leaf;
Sweet as a cube of sugar;
Refreshing as cool mint;
Spicy as a cinnamon stick;
Warm as cup of chamomile;
Cheerful as yellow lemons;
Bold as a hint of almonds;
Smooth like fresh cream;
Flavored like cozy vanilla;
Hot and steamy for cold winter nights;
Icy cold for summer afternoons;
Life is like a cup of tea;
It is what you make it.
