Kindness Poem by Rochelle Dsilva

Kindness

Rating: 3.9


the perfect cup of tea
is kindness
made when someone least expects it
whether it’s a simple
teabag and milk concoction
or precious minutes spent
watching over a pot of boiling water
while Assam tea leaves unfurl
and full cream milk is blended in
generously
whether it’s rose pink or jade green
served in steel tumblers, fancy mugs
or dainty cups
it is the polite reassurance
that things will be ok
your body will heal
your mind will recover
just stop
sit down
here
have a cup of tea

A cup of tea served when one is really thirsty and in need of one is always a welcomed gesture of kindness. The beauty of poetry is in the articulation, insight and penning of ones train of thoughts. A well articulated poem, insightfully penned with conviction. A good one indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

As simple as a cup of tea, but it can take him that sips a long way and bring much fulfilment to the hand that offered. Nice piece. Please read my poem 'The Empress Of My Heart'
