A bag full of leaves
and the magic within
is all that I need
to save face with a grin.
The love of my family
in every delicious cup
I wnonder how they could stand me
when I whined like a pup.
Some dark and some light
some mint, maybe fruit
some sugar, some spice
and flowers too boot.
Its the simple that spurs
me to keep working hard
dont need diamonds or furs
just one lucky card.
A jolt of caffiene
that prepares me for the day
or a lavender dream
to chase the hurt away
I'll never lose sight
of the memories we shared
as we talked into the night
as for life's trials prepared
never again will I be scared.
