Afternoon Tea - Illustration to poem by Marianna Jo Arolin

Afternoon Tea by Marianna Jo Arolin

My copper kettle
whistles merrily
and signals that
it is time for tea.

The fine china cups
are filled with the brew.
There's lemon and sugar
and sweet cream, too.

But, best of all
there's friendship, between you and me.
As we lovingly share
our afternoon tea.

~Marianna Jo Arolin
