There Are Days...

There are days when I feel three inches small
and there is nothing to keep me from being squashed,
I look up at the big big world from down here
and wonder if I'll ever grow tall,
It's not easy to face the world alone
When you're only three inches in size,
So I just stay safe and sound in my bed
and pull all my covers up tight 'round my head,
and I wait all by myself for a very long while
Till my height seems all but returned to normal,
Then I clamber back out of my bed and covers
and think that maybe this will be the last time
I have one of those days.

Tea Time in Solitude

Sipping piping hot tea
Causes me to reminisce
Of the good times shared
with a cup of steaming tea in hand.
Simply breathing in the steamy warmth
Brings memories flooding in.
Family gatherings with so much laughter
Enjoying the company of one another.
Then there are the moments
of quiet conversations
in the corner of a room
with a dear friend
Just talking about the little intricacies
Of the world around us.
Basking in the sweet power of hot tea
I sit back and let my worries float away
With the steam.
