Thank you for all you do Towards me slowly came Your angelic smile divine, Stirring feelings deep I could not tame.

Two Cups of Tea Life can be compared to two cups of tea. One cup is bitter and one is sweet. Both cups offer themselves to me. I must decide which one I first want to meet.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The importance and uniqueness of human language: 1 of 13
