Early Morning Tea
A new day awakens
Hearkening forth those who slumber
Birdsong knocks the night silence asunder
The creak of the chair as it rocks to and fro
With the sun rising up ever so slow
Bursts of bold color stream across the sky
Feathered friends sweetly sing as they fly by
Peacefulness embraces all who partake of this hour
As early morning dew drips from the flowers
The morning begun with tea cup on tray
And promise ahead for the blessings this day.

Kim,
I've had cucumber sandwiches at a tea and thought they were great.
Appreciate your recipe and will be trying to make some soon.
They really are tasty.
So very glad you are sharing these tea treats.
Lovely, lovely china.
Sweet poem!

Kim,
I love cucumber sandwiches!
Lovely words and thoughts.
I used to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee on my deck swing, but it broke. I hope to get another one. I guess a chair will have to do. Although it has been a tad chilly in the mornings here.

I love cucumber sandwiches too. I don't know which impresses me more the lovely ideas or the poems. I hit the jack pot here. In getting ready for the tea party, am finding beautiful things I forgot I had. Thanks again.

Oh my, I have been away from the computer these past days, a bit overwhelmed with work and family, and what fantastic posts I have been missing here. Yummy recipes, adorable pictures of Kramer giving you a helping hand, and lovely vintage flower vases and tea cups, etc. Ahhh, I love each and every picture, and your poem is so wonderful. It feels good to drop by here, dear friend and spend some time with you! I have missed you, even though it has only been a few days. Blog posts are like a good cup of tea, I just don't feel right without them in each and every day!! have a good weekend, hugs from here, Debby
