Cuppas, never-failing

Cuppas, never-failing 

Here's a happy Valentine's he said 
and handed me a cuppa, morning cup of Rosie
tea in bed he said
and made me laugh as I tried to do the sums,
multiplying years by weeks by days
all those non-Valentine's, cuppas never-failing 
daily Rosie Lee. 

So later when I saw the love-hearts posted
flowers, chocolates, lavish
Instagram and Facebook pinkly overflowing 
I thought of cuppas never-failing, thousands 
upon thousands, daily down the years.

  1. Love is a man who knows how you like your tea and happy to bring you one to help you start your day. You capture the magic ingredient that lasts a lifetime in your poem x
