A Little Cup of Grace

cookability.biz
In the teapot of life,
I am old grounds,
most of my flavor spent,
almost ready to be 
scuttled into the compost
to nurture new growth.

But while I am still here,
Great Teapot,
tip your spout one more time.
Fill just one more vessel for me
with a little cup of grace.

    Such an excellent analogy, Sherry - not that I believe your flavour is yet half spent.

    you need not ask for grace, mi amiga. there's enough in that tea pot to go around. isn't that one of those tea pots that magically never empties? by the way, do you know how valuable tea and coffee grounds are to 'new birth, new growth'? I'm sure you do. Grace becomes you, mi amiga.

    What a wonderful little gratitude prayer for being alive and still able to give. Couldn't agree with you more,
