She looked into the image
to have a peek into and gauge
the person that looked back
to reflect on life, to take stock
the image appeared blur
and she couldn't see so clear
her eyes blinded by pain
of sorrows that pour like rain
As she ponders in silence
over her cuppa, hot and nice
mixed with milk and some spice
she knows then, for she's wise
only leaves that boil,
leave a fragrant trail
ready to make self avail
of tribulations and travail
A nice cup of tea is known to rejuvenate one's body, soul and mind. It unclogs closed pores in the mind, clears foggy thoughts, and charges one to take on the next chapter in life.

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. ~Bernard-Paul Heroux
