Let's have some tea

Never forget that our siblings pre-date all our other friendships

None of that one bag in a cup nonsense -
We'll let the teabags simmer
Slowly
In grandma's bone china teapot
And if we struggle to make small talk
Those yummy biscuits with mountain peaks
Of rugged chocolate
Will loosen our tongues
And help us to reminisce
Of simpler times of candid bliss
A piece of me died when we felled
That Norfolk Island Pine
All these years later I hope
We can find shade in each others words
And not allow grass to grow
Underneath our feet again.

I so want to sit and have tea in the shade of those words... such an endearing reminder to us all to make time for those who were there before we carved friendships with others outside the house. I like how this is a conversation and there is an unspoken promise to plant another pine :) Beautiful!

We sometimes "forget" the people walking the road of life the longest with us.....

Oh wow......your interpretation of the new planting awakens the green giant within....:)

Awww.. this is just beautiful!! What warm thoughts, and heartfelt desires.
I do agree with you - I love tea and that is the best way to have it. Then think about memories of the past while whiffing the sweet aroma. mmmm making me want to write one about my siblings now. :D

Thank you Moonskittles! Memories are powerful......and good ones should be remembered more often, right? :)

Though having consumed a few bags of salt together with loved ones also deepens the relationship, not so? "Only good" times may sometimes we remembered as "superficial".........

you remember both, but dwell on the good ones :D
