Herbal
So many days
throughout the year
I drink my cup of herbal cheer.
It warms the body
and calms the soul.
No fragrance, tint or taste is missed,
in Nature’s wonderous
teatime gift.
Adapted from My Hawaiian Garden
by Hawaii Poet Don Blanding

Found this lovely poem on the box of some tea I purchased in Kauai the last time we visited there. The cup pictured above was give to me by my friend Tobi…an amazing author, poet, mountain bike rider, champion of women’s empowerment, and fellow “squiggle.” It’s my favorite bug to drink tea in. It’s what I am drinking tea in as I type this post. Somethings are just mean to be…this mug is mean to filled with tea at all times!
